Countess Natalya Izmestyeva lived on her estate as the sovereign mistress. When her husband, a rare scoundrel, died, she expelled all his henchmen from the house and stopped going out and hosting people. But then a neighbor showed up - Prince Panyushin, who immediately made himself known by coming to Izmestieva without an invitation. The Countess was shocked by his impudence, but equally shocked by the Prince’s personality. He was not like any of her boring neighbors. The rich and handsome prince was considered a profitable match for the district young ladies... But what kind of game was this heartthrob playing, sending roses from his greenhouse to Natalya? Did Panyushin really think, she thought, that the provincial widow would immediately lay down her arms in front of him? She wasn't going to give up. And she didn’t know that Prince Gregory lost his head when he saw her on the very first day of her arrival at the estate - a beautiful Amazon on an Arabian horse...
