But when a mysterious illness reminds the duke that he has no heir, in a feverish gamble, he picks a random lady from the list of prospects his mother penned for him and writes a simple marriage proposal on a letter. And he forgets about it - until a tempting lady with an iron will and breathtaking bravery shows up at his doorstep, ready to accept. Perhaps he has found a solution for his predicament, not to mention an enigma he intends to unravel little by little.
