Lady Emily Turner has been a debutante for six seasons now and should have long settled into a suitable marriage. However, due to her father\\u2019s large debts, her only suitor is the persistent and odious owner of her father\\u2019s favorite gambling house. Meanwhile, Lord Julian Belfry, the second son of a marquess, has scandalized society as an actor and owner of a theater\\u2014the kind of establishment where men take their mistresses, but not their wives. When their lives intersect at a house party, Lord Julian hatches a plan to benefit them both.
With a marriage of convenience, Emily will use her society connections to promote the theater to a more respectable clientele and Julian will take her out from under the shadows of her father\\u2019s unsavory associates. But they soon realize they have very different plans for their marriage\\u2014Julian wants Emily to remain a society wife, while Emily discovers an interest in the theater. But when a fleeing actress, murderous kitten, and meddlesome friends enter the fray, Emily and Julian will have to confront the fact that their marriage of convenience comes with rather inconvenient feelings.
