Some found her ingenious, others diabolical. But no one could argue with the success of Lady
Antonia Paxton's technique. For the beautiful young widow had made a career out of helping destitute women marry
well - by trapping London's richest young bachelors in compromising positions with her willing ladies, then forcing
them to marry. The darkly handsome Remington Carr was as controversial for his radical views on women's rights
as he was for his decadent way of life. If the rakish earl had his way, all women would work for a living and marriage
would be abolished. he was the ultimate London bachelor and the answer to the prayers of a select group of gentlemen -
Antonia's matrimonial victims - all too eager to put a stop to the widow's schemes. When the pair meet in the halls
of parlimant, the sparks fly - and a wager is made: If Remington will subject himself to two weeks of "women's work,"
Antonia will put in two weeks of "men's work." And then they will see who has the harder lot in life. The battle is on.
And the stakes are nothing less than their hearts.
