Some ladies wish upon stars... only a death bed wish would work with the Duke of Wardington.

Lady Margaret Kay, after surviving a fever outbreak, is given a great gift:

Freedom.

She is free to do, say, and go, wherever she pleases.

But ... before she can truly embrace her scandalous future, she must keep a promise she made to a friend and in order to keep that promise, she'll need assistance.

And what better help is there than the crew of London's best theatre and its charming lead actor.

Lord Roger Abbey.

He knows exactly what freedom is like and is more than willing to accompany Margaret on her journey of discovery.

What he isn't willing to do is fall under the beautiful woman's spell...

That, however, can't be helped where a Kay woman is involved.

The lady is irresistible.

But staying together will require them to stay alive.

When Margaret's promise puts their lives in danger, he'll have to save both their heads just to keep her hand in marriage!

But can love conquer a meddling family, a man with dark intentions, and the fears of the past?

For happiness, they'll try anything.
