The second of four in a series of the slightly off-kilter Mackenzie Brothers.
On a bet from his posse, Bad Boy, Lord Rudolph Ferdinand "Mac" Mackenzie crashes Lady Isabella's coming-out party. He spoils the whole party by snatching her away and marring her. After all, it is all about him! What ensues is a very rocky marriage: Some days they argue so badly they can't stand to be around one another. Mac splits for the Continent to do some painting and carousing with his posse; while Lady Isabella entertains the local artists at home. They kiss and make-up, and the whole process starts over again. When their house of cards finally comes crashing down around them, Lady Isabella leaves Mac: She cannot do this any longer. That is Mac's wake-up call. Throw in a "wannabe" Mac Mackenzie and this is a wonderful tome of love reborn anew.
