Lady Whittaker Wages War

Lord Cassius Godwin, Earl of Pembroke, has made several mistakes:

1) He lost a wager to a woman who poses a threat to his very sanity

2) He became her lover due to the aforementioned wager

3) He got her with child

4) He then proceeded to insult her to the point where she swore that she wouldn't wed him if he were the last man on earth

5) And then, naturally AFTER all the damage had been done, he realized that he was desperately in love with her

Now the mother of his child refuses to speak to him, intends to marry another man, and plans to move halfway across the world.

But losing her is not one of the mistakes he intends to add to his list.

Lady Daphne Winslow, Viscountess Whittaker, has made several mistakes:

1) She thought that a week would be enough to purge herself of any feelings for Cassius Godwin

2) She proceeded to fall even deeper in love with him

3) In a moment of passion, she neglected to take appropriate precautions

4) She got herself with child out of wedlock

5) She hoped that Cassius Godwin would not break her heart

After a vicious falling out, she has no wish to ever see him again, much less marry him. But it appears everywhere she goes, he follows her like a shadow. The famously introverted Earl is suddenly spotted at every house party, every ball, every soiree that she is in attendance. But letting him back in her heart, and her life is not a mistake she intends to add to her list.
