I’ve been disappointed in love. My first man cheated on me a week after we married; my second left an illegitimate son. The third sent me into honorable retirement—meaning, he exiled me to a far-off province. So what? I’m rich, beautiful, and confident in myself—I definitely won’t disappear! The local governor offers me a deal: I stay in Vyoshketsk and help him turn a tiny town into a thriving resort. Why not? Here I’ll become a real queen.
Only the local men have entirely different plans. Some think a woman’s place is in the kitchen… And the former number two, who suddenly appeared, even intends to take his son and pull me into his schemes.
