However, behind the façade of The Duchess of Dalliance, Juliette has a modest aspiration. Juliette hungers for a husband, children and yes above all, love.

The Dangerous Duke otherwise known as William the sixth Duke of Pelham comes by his nickname quite naturally by being very severe and formidable. Pelham lives by his schedule, he eats breakfast at eight in the morning and is lasts exactly thirty minutes, and he plans his day down to the minute without fail every day. Nothing is to shift his schedule, he's a duke and as such he expects people to bend their schedule and desires to suit his timetable. The Duke of Pelham has decided the time is right to be married and he has found the Lady who will become his duchess, too bad for The Dangerous Duke that a Diamond stumbled into his life.
