'An indecent proposal, a willing lady, a cautious lord.
'When Lady Hebe Hampton strolls back into society, an extremely rich widow, she can now choose from a long line of fortune hunters to begin the family she craves. Although she had never loved anyone other than Lord Alexander Rydale, the inflexible viscount has always scorned her unrestrained behaviour.
'Knowing his estates are impoverished, she offers him an indecent proposal. Impregnate her within two months and she will endow him with all her worldly goods in marriage.
'Rydale is not aiming for a wife with a fortune but a quiet life with a demure young lady who will not outrage society. However, his lust for Hebe has not died. Gambling on the fact that she remained barren during her nine-year marriage, with nothing to lose, and her luscious body to gain, he snaps up her offer. An affair with a time limit is all he wants.
'However, Hebe is willing to bet on love, win or lose.'
