Women in control are so attractive. The best-selling MacLean lets us in on the machinations behind divorce in England in 1836 as the Duke of Haven and his estranged wife duke it out over how to end their mostly off-again marriage. She'll admit to anything to have it done; he doesn't want to lose her. His way is pretty clever, if half-baked.
