The Duke of Buckhurst, handsome, wealthy, a brilliant horseman and
known to everyone as 'Buck' has sworn that he will never marry.
Cutting a swathe through the sophisticated beauties of the Beau
Monde, who are drawn to his sardonic charm like social butterflies
to a bright light, he has only one requirement for his amours -
that they are safely married to someone else. That is until he
discovers that his heir apparent, his dissolute cousin Edmund, has
married an actress. Horrified that a common showgirl will become
the next Duchess and bring his family name into disrepute, the Duke
is forced by his family into finding a bride. Bored by the very
thought of being tied to a young, inexperienced young woman, he
sets his loyal sisters the daunting task of choosing a suitable
wife within the month, so that he can be married before the Royal
races at Ascot. With time running out, Buck's sisters are in
despair - until they meet Lady Samala Wynn, the daughter of the
honorable but impoverished Earl of Kenwyn. Lovely, innocent and
angel-faced, she seems the ideal bride, but can they persuade her
to marry their rakish brother, Buck? For Samala is a young woman
with her own ideas about marriage - and they include love and
romance. But can a marriage between two strangers, built on a
foundation of the groom's resentment and the bride's family duty,
ever bring happiness and love? As the Duke, furious at the prospect
of losing his freedom, dallies with the latest married woman to
fall all too eagerly into his arms and Samala worries how her
beloved father will cope living alone in his crumbling estate, it
seems that this is a match that is doomed to bring nothing but
sadness.
