She never imagines that she’ll meet the duke and actually like him.
Not only that but the party is three weeks long!Įlizabeth is a spinster who is there for her sister. In the end the amount of people who show up at Julian’s is astounding. Of course Julian doesn’t want the house party but if his sister’s going to invite eligible ladies then Julian is going to invite eligible bachelors for his sister. His sister, not realizing how much a house party costs, nor how dire the family’s financial problem are, plans one and invites a ton of eligible ladies and their chaperones. He is barely hanging on financially and has been cutting costs whenever possible.

Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride.Įlizabeth Windham has no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. David, Duke of Haverford, is barely keeping his head above water in a sea of inherited debts.
