Lord Winter Vance, the Marquess of Roth, does not want a wife, especially a starry-eyed debutante, which is why the minute they’re wed, he dumps her at his country estate and he is off to London.

Despite her hasty marriage, Lady Isobel Vance is determined to make the best of it. But three years later, forgotten in slumbering Chelmsford while her husband gallivants in London, enough is enough.

It’s time to wake up and show her husband just who he married. But when Isobel is mistaken for a stable hand, what begins as a dance of seduction in ballrooms becomes a meeting of minds in disguise, and strange capers might lead to true love after all.
