Winning isn't everything when love is on the line. Clarissa Ellison is your typical Aries: everything is a competition. So, when she makes her debut into Regency London Society, she determines that in order to "win" the Season, she must get a proposal from the Duke of Drayton. The only problem is that his closest friend, the handsome and thoughtful Lord Uxbridge, is quickly becoming someone she can't live without. Jonathan, Lord Uxbridge, has always been called "Ox" for the obvious reason-he's big. But, as a true Gemini, there are two sides to this man. To the world, he's outgoing, but in private, he relaxes by painting beautiful miniatures. Because his size generally puts fear into the eyes of young ladies, Ox had planned on never marrying. But a large bequest to be given on his wedding day makes him decide otherwise. He sets his mind to winning Miss Buttery-Clements, who can match him for size, but his heart has decided on another-the fascinating and delicate Miss Ellison. The two decide to be just friends, setting aside the advice of their friend and astrological scholar Lady Preston, but the stars-or is it destiny? -will ensure this is a match made in the heavens.
