A light frothy Regency romance. Bachelor about London and not interested in marriage, Tristan, the Earl of Stanhope heads into the countryside to protect a lady's name after his nephew Ossie vows to woo her because his mother threatens to make his life very difficult if he doesn't find a wife. Ossie has no intentions of marriage but decides that a bluestocking, dowdy, old maid who's never left the country would be a safe name to give his mother as the object of his attentions and soon the betting book at White's is full of wagers as to whether or not Calista Ashton will fall to his courting. Lord Stanhope soon finds that the dowdy appearing Calista is everything he never thought he wanted in a woman and a wife. Only problem is he can't convince Calista that he seriously wants to marry her. Confusion abounds as circumstances keep pulling the two would be lovers apart.
