À 62 ans, Daphné Delacroix est une figure incontournable de la haute société parisienne. Veuve et désœuvrée, elle a un nouveau projet : mettre fin au célibat de ses trois fils, qu'elle juge "malheureux" ou "mal-orientés". Son but est simple : trouver trois belles-filles dignes du nom Delacroix avant la fin de l'année. Pour orchestrer sa quête matrimoniale, Daphné rédige un Cahier Secret, un registre impitoyable où elle consigne les profils idéaux de ses futures belles-filles, avec des critères allant du pedigree social aux perspectives d'héritage. Cependant, ses trois fils résistent à ses manœuvres avec une détermination désarmante : Alexandre, l'aîné, avocat d'affaires glacial, voit le mariage comme une fusion d'entreprises, non comme une histoire d'amour. Benjamin, le cadet, photographe bohème, rejette le monde de sa mère et fuit l'engagement comme la peste. Cédric, le benjamin, professeur de lycée trop sensible, est si terrifié par la séduction qu'il se réfugie dans la poésie et la timidité. La Saison des Épouses est lancée lors d'un grand gala de bienfaisance, où Daphné déploie ses stratagèmes pour mettre en contact ses fils avec ses candidates choisies (la banquière influente, la restauratrice d'art stable, la bibliothécaire délicate). Mais l'amour, même quand il est planifié par une main de fer, a l'art de dérailler. Entre les fils qui s'échappent, les candidates parfaites qui se révèlent être de terribles choix, et l'irruption de femmes que Daphné n'aurait jamais osé inscrire dans son Cahier Secret, la quête du bonheur devient une comédie de mœurs endiablée. Ce roman raconte l'histoire hilarante et touchante d'une mère obsédée par la perfection qui doit, malgré elle, accepter que l'amour ne se dicte pas, mais se trouve là où on l'attend le moins.

It was the night of my husband's and my third anniversary, and I had gotten home early. I caught him in bed with another woman—for the tenth time. But unlike the previous times, I did not throw a tantrum. I even closed the door to the master bedroom quietly, not wanting to interrupt. In Scott Jameson's eyes, I had no choice but to tolerate his cheating because I became Mrs. Jameson by getting pregnant with his child. Three months later, he flung divorce papers at me. "My young lover wants me to give her a home and to bear my son. Sign the papers." I looked into his cold, distant eyes and said with conviction, "All right. All I want is custody of our son. I don't want a cent of the Jamesons' money." The court proceedings were difficult, and I was accused of being mentally unstable. Many people made fun of me for not knowing my place. All of Cloverton was waiting for me to humiliate myself, counting the seconds until a nobody like me succumbed to desperation. However, I fought the case with everything I had. Eventually, I was finally able to leave with my son. No one knew that Scott suffered from a serious case of asthenozoospermia. His sperm were completely useless. No other woman could have Scott's baby except me, as I happened to be unusually fertile. My son would be the only heir to the Jameson family legacy.
