Quand Fleure Monet, brillante architecte au bord de la faillite, reçoit une proposition de mariage de la part d’Aaron Valesco, richissime héritier d’un empire immobilier, elle croit d’abord à une mauvaise plaisanterie. Mais l’offre est réelle et urgente : pour hériter de la direction du groupe familial, Aaron doit se marier avant ses 30 ans… dans trente jours.

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.
