An unmarried Duke, a humble talented girl, a chance meeting, a sweet temptation... Joshua Goodrich, the Duke of Falmouth has been in the habit of meeting prospective brides at Mrs. Fairway's coffee house in London. This coffee house is a very high class affair and she is well known and liked for the delicious range of cakes and patisseries. These creations are primarily made by her daughter, Bridget, but with Lent approaching the two women look set to endure lean times. Still, the duke insists on coming by with his latest prospective bride Lady Primrose. However, with the coffee house mostly empty he finds himself for the first time truly noticing Mrs. Fairway's daughter. Will he abandon looking for the right kind of girl of his class and station, or will he indulge in the sweet girl who makes the finest pastries in London?
