The sparkling romantic story of the eternal clash of the feminine and masculine elements is told by an experienced author against the backdrop of aristocratic and plebeian English society at the beginning of the 19th century.

Will the Duke finally find a wife? He can't marry just any woman. His bride-to-be must be from a good family, young and fertile. Barely making ends meet, playwright Sarah Pettijohn is the last person Gavin Whitridge, the Duke of Baynton, should fall in love with. In addition, Sára is an actress, has an illegitimate background and constantly challenges the Duke's authority. She always tells him what she thinks without further ado. However, somehow she piqued his interest, and the Duke thought that Sára might be the right person with whom he could make a deal: he would promote the staging of her play, and in return she would teach him something about love.
