Liberty Banks loves revenge almost as much as she hates one Mister Paul Grimes, whom she considers the most improper creature she has ever clapped eyes upon. But when her plans for revenge against Paul go bust, she suddenly finds herself walking down the aisle toward him. Once married, a battle of the wills breaks out as each tries to reform the other. Liberty wants nothing more than to have a proper husband. Much to Liberty's dismay, Paul will stop at nothing to have his all-too-proper wife do something--anything--to break the rules of society. Specifically, he would like her to break the biggest rule of their society and fall in love with a most improper man: her own husband.
The West Country provides the main source of inspiration for Arthur Gordon's poems. Its seafaring tradition, its rich history and its beautiful countryside, from craggy moorland to dramatic cliffs and sheltered coves, are a never-ending source of pleasure. Arthur conveys his love for the West Country in a way that is both interesting and thoughtful. Other poems have a Scottish flavour, reflecting Arthur's childhood in Scotland. And the collection as a whole is shot through with a vein of quiet humour.

Can he prove himself worthy of her? Will she accept his love? Or will jealousy and past insecurities tear the pair apart?
