Miscalculations

Jane Douglas possesses sharp wit, a brilliant mind, and an extraordinary ability with numbers. Working as financial advisor to Lady Martha Kettering, she supports herself, her sister, and her mother. She has settled into a quiet life in the country in this role. Viscount Luke Kettering is a self-confident and elegant man talented in manly pursuits, with a tendency toward risk-taking. Though admired by his peers, his repeated requests for funds to cover gambling debts worry his mother. She challenges him: if he can demonstrate financial responsibility for one month and gain control of his inheritance, she will grant it to him. Luke accepts, unaware that Lady Martha's financial advisor will oversee his accounts during this period—and that this advisor is a woman.
