One sword-wielding duchess and one treasure-hunting duke pretend to be married to catch a thief.

When Elizabeth, the Duchess of Skeffington, retreats to the estate that was once her refuge during her cruel marriage, she’s stunned to come face-to-face with her late husband’s distant heir, the insufferable Simon Alexander.

When Elizabeth’s fortune is stolen, it’s up to both of them to catch the thief. But, traveling alone together would attract too much gossip, so their only choice is to use fake identities and pose as husband and wife.
