Join forces with a newly minted Duke who is trying to avoid the matchmaking Mama's and their desperate daughters! Cerian has agreed to go to her cousin Kate's Christmas house party with her mother, but after her mother let's it slip that Cerian has a large dowry, all of the fortune hunters are in hot pursuit. So, Cerian ducks into the Silver closet to hide out. Meanwhile, Oliver, the newest Duke to enter Society, is trying to avoid the desperate wiles of Lady Selina and the other single ladies at the house party he is attending at the home of his good friends Lord and Lady Medford. After a particularly trying morning, Oliver flees the breakfast room in search of a hiding place, when a mysterious cat leads him to the Silver closet. Oliver quickly ducks into the closet and soon realizes that he and the cat are not alone. After they commiserate on the hazards of avoiding fortune hunters- male & female-  Cerian and Oliver strike up an unlikely friendship and bargain. They will pretend to be Courting, but after a few days, their unlikely friendship becomes a real friendship and they find themselves falling for each other, but others at the house party are determined to put a stop to what they view as an inappropriate relationship.
