Kitty Talbot needs a fortune. Love is not required… She’s got just twelve weeks to find a rich husband and save her sisters–and she must use every ounce of cunning and ingenuity she possesses to climb London society if she is to succeed. The only person she can’t fool is Lord Radcliffe, who sees straight through her plans, and is determined to stop her at any cost. There is not a day to lose and no one–not even a lord–will stand in her way…

Het trouwseizoen gaat beginnen – en Kitty Talbot heeft geen minuut te verliezen om een rijke man aan de haak te slaan Engeland, 1818.

Zonder een fortuin om de schulden van haar overleden, gokverslaafde vader af te betalen, zullen Kitty en haar zusjes financieel geruïneerd zijn.

Kitty Talbot ist jung, hübsch und clever – leider aber auch arm wie eine Kirchenmaus. Als ihr Verlobter sie sitzen lässt, stehen Kitty und ihre vier Schwestern vor dem Ruin, denn die Spielschulden ihres verstorbenen Vaters können sie aus eigener Kraft niemals begleichen. Also wagt Kitty sich für ihre Schwestern auf das gefährlichste Schlachtfeld im England des Jahres 1818: die Bälle der Lords und Ladys in London. Obwohl die unkonventionelle Kitty sich mindestens so viele Feinde wie Freunde macht, erliegt bald ein märchenhaft reicher Junggeselle ihrem Charme.

Kitty may be neither accomplished nor especially genteel—but she is utterly single-minded; imbued with cunning and ingenuity, she knows that risk is just part of the game.
