Julie was married at 16 to a man who really didn't want to. After their marriage, he leaves. Fast forward 8 years. Nick's cousin is scheming and wants the dukedom. Julie is also dependent on him and he isn't giving her the stipend she needs. So she takes lessons on seduction with the goal of seducing Nick and getting pregnant. She goes to Italy where Nick has been.
I hated Nick. What an asshole. He had no redeeming qualities. I didn't see the connection with Julie and I didn't like how he treated her. I wanted to slap Julie for being so stupid. The 2* is generous because I did like the writing.
