Seeking inspiration for her next book, she finds it in the form of her rakish cousin, Lord Hart. She writes him into her story, and - unwittingly - into her heart. To his surprise he falls for his poor and proper cousin - but she cannot be a wife. For surely no man would tolerate her novel writing However, determined to win her, Lord Hart resorts to devious means. But Sophy could have told him that trickery is no recipe for success in love.
