'The eight-year marriage of the once mutually adoring couple, Lord and Lady Lovett, is rejuvenated through the anonymous counsel of Lord Lovett's former mistress.

'Eight years of marriage has not dimmed Cressida, Lady Lovett's, love for her husband, but the birth of five children has cooled her ardour.

'Now rumours are circulating that the kind, dashing and seemingly ever-patient Justin, Lord Lovett, has returned to the arms of his former mistress and Cressida believes her choices are stark—welcome her husband back to the marital bed and risk a sixth pregnancy she fears will kill her, or lose him forever.

'With the astonishing discovery that methods exist to enable the innocent Cressida to transform herself into the vixen of her husband's dreams without expanding her nursery, she seeks to repay the woman responsible for her empowerment…only to discover her unlikely benefactress was, and perhaps still is, her husband's mistress.'
