The twice-widowed Duchess of Burnham is thrilled to finally have a fit, younger husband and imagines nights filled with the kind of passion she missed in her first two marriages. Lettie is every man's dream - voluptuous and sensual.
The Honorable Ferdinand Ford is horrified to learn his family has made a match for him. Marriage is the last thing he wants. Ferd is the consummate man about town, except he has a secret - he has very little experience with women and has taken great pains to avoid them. Experienced Lettie is all that he fears.
Lettie might be a little mad to pin all her hopes for happiness on a man who doesn't want her for a wife, but she hopes that nights in her bed will convince him she is a wife worth having.
