Lady Charlotte is considered the happiest of the newlyweds in London: her husband, Jeremy Lockhart, Viscount Deering, is young, handsome and rich - too rich for a dowry. And only Charlotte herself lives in constant anxiety and painful suspicions... Why is her husband either gentle and caring, or, on the contrary, behaves like a complete stranger, an unfamiliar person and stubbornly avoids the family bedroom? Why does she seem to be living with two different men? What secret is hidden behind this? Charlotte decides to solve Jeremy's mystery - at any cost.
