Harry's bachelor party

Harry Traemore is a dashing lord and a player who is happy to remain unmarried and pursue pleasure. However, when he is named one of society's "Impossible Bachelors" by the Prince Regent, he is forced to take part in a romantic wager. The rules are simple: the bachelor whose mistress wins the title of "Most Delectable Companion" gets to stay unmarried. Harry is unconcerned about his status until his latest mistress abandons him.

The Prince Regent's romantic wager

The year is 1816, and in a private room at his club in London, Lord Harry Traemore is drinking with his old schoolmates from Eton. They are commiserating Lord Wray, who is to be married in the morning. Suddenly, a bookcase opens to reveal a portly man with a merry grin and a bottle of cheap gin in his hand. It is none other than the Prince Regent himself, accompanied by a buxom female—rather matronly in dress and age.

The Prince Regent has an idea for a romantic wager that will give the bachelors hope of avoiding marriage. He declares that there shall be an annual "Impossible Bachelors" wager, commencing the first week of August 1816 and every August thereafter. The participants, including Harry, will be conscripted by the Prince Regent and his advisors, who will have sole control over the circumstances of the bet.

The rules of the wager are as follows: the bachelor whose mistress wins the title of "Most Delectable Companion" will be granted an entire year of freedom from the trials and tribulations of marriage. They will not be chased by matchmaking mamas or forced to attend tedious balls. On the other hand, the losing bachelor will be required to draw straws, with the recipient of the shortest straw proposing marriage within two months to a woman of the club board's choosing.

Harry is not happy about this wager, as he has no desire to marry. However, he has no choice but to follow the Prince Regent's orders. The story that follows is a fun and lighthearted romance between Harry and Lady Molly Fairbanks, his childhood friend and "foe," as they navigate the challenges of the wager and their growing attraction to each other.

Harry's mistress abandons him

Harry expects Molly to be biddable and play the part of a tart, but she is not that type of woman. She is hot-headed and not willing to play the games Harry is used to. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, Molly manages to win over the other mistresses, and they form a band of friends.

The competition is ridiculous and juvenile, but Molly is determined to win for Harry. She knows that if she wins, Harry will win a year of freedom from marriage. If she loses, Harry will be forced to marry a woman of the other bachelors' choosing.

Throughout the competition, Molly and Harry grow closer. They begin to see each other in a new light, and their relationship evolves. They share intimate moments and steamy scenes. Harry begins to see Molly as more than just a childhood friend or foe. He starts to fall in love with her.

In the end, Molly and Harry's feelings for each other become too strong to ignore. They realise that they are perfect for each other and fall in love. Despite the challenges and obstacles they face, they find their happily ever after.

Harry and Molly's childhood rivalry

As they grew older, their rivalry only intensified. Harry, known for his pleasure-seeking ways and reputation as a player, found himself drafted into a romantic wager by the Prince Regent, who deemed him one of society's "Impossible Bachelors." The rules were simple: the bachelor whose mistress was crowned the "Most Delectable Companion" would remain unmarried for another year. However, if Harry lost, he would be forced to propose marriage within two months to a woman chosen by the club's board.

Enter Molly Fairbanks, Harry's childhood friend turned foe. With her strong-willed personality and no-nonsense attitude, she was the last person Harry wanted by his side. But when their paths crossed unexpectedly, they had no choice but to rely on each other. Molly, on her way to elope with a suitor she didn't truly love, found herself stranded when her fiancé ran off with Harry's mistress. In a twist of fate, Harry also lost his companion, leaving him without a partner for the upcoming competition.

Despite their mutual dislike, Harry and Molly formed an unlikely alliance. Harry proposed that Molly pretend to be his mistress for the competition, promising to help her find a suitable husband if they won.
