Vanessa Pride's mother is obsessed with the idea of marrying her daughter to a rich and distinguished gentleman. Vanessa herself is not against fulfilling this wish — but she agrees to marry only Sheridan Wolfe, the Duke of Armitage, who has long captured her heart. And she's not afraid that the duke isn't rich and her mother can't stand him. But the fact that Sheridan doesn't take Vanessa seriously is really a problem. How could she win his love? How to make it clear that she is not a moody, fashion-obsessed girl, but a smart adult woman worthy of being his wife?
