Lady Sophie Milton-Riley faces pressure from her mother to marry Justin, the Marquess of Fontaine. Both believe they are completely wrong for each other and set out to prove it. Their plan backfires as their attempts to demonstrate incompatibility reveal unexpected attraction. Meanwhile, plain Josephine Loman has secretly loved Beaumont Halliwell, the Fifth Duke of Wroxton, for years. When his brother dies and leaves the dukedom in financial ruin, Beau must marry for money. Jo becomes his unlikely salvation as the overlooked heiress who could save everything. In the third story, Diana Katherine Lambson comes from a poor family of daughters and needs a marriage of convenience. Her only option is Charles Brook, Earl of Barrington, a notorious rogue who offers her freedom in exchange for respectability. He even provides a contract outlining their arrangement. Each woman must decide whether to trust a man who could either ruin or rescue her future.
