Mason St. Clair, the new Earl of Ashlin, has inherited a
title for which there is no longer a fortune, thanks to
his elder brother. Steeped in debt, with three ungainly
nieces to marry off, Mason is desperate for relief. Only
he doesn't expect it in the form of Madame Fontaine, a
woman of questionable reputation. She arrives on his
doorstep with partial payment on a debt owed to the former
earl. When Mason demands full payment, she is at a loss.
It's wacky Cousin Felicity who suggests that this woman,
whom men cannot resist, can work off the rest of her debt
by teaching the three wards how to attract worthy
husbands. In a bind, Riley, as the Madame is known,
agrees. Once the bargain has been struck, Mason finds that
he too is falling under the Madame's spell, and it's not
long before an additional couple is heading to the altar.
