Gregory Bridgerton, unlike most men, believes in love. And he also believes that when he meets the right one, he will recognize her at first sight and then everything will be just beautiful and perfect. But he never thought that his chosen one might not care for him. The charming Miss Hermione Watson loves another. Fortunately, there is Lady Lucinda Abernathy, her best friend, who will do anything to get Gregory and Hermione together - not even considering Gregory's growing attraction to her. But love cannot be trusted and the first look is sometimes deceptive.
