Publisher's Summary
Twenty-five-year-old Lady Millicent Smythe has come a long way since her elder brother, as her then-guardian, tried to marry her off. It was a deal he’d made when she was but 17 with his friend Sir Montague Morton MP, in return for funds. Her escape all those years ago was not a little to do with Lord Charles Lombard, a chivalrous 20-year-old army officer who found her stranded on the road and carried her to safety. They’ve not met in the eight years since those events, and Charles has now become the duke of Darvell, following the sudden death of his father.
Millicent has developed her culinary skills and even—anonymously—published a book, which has received good reviews and sold well. Charles discovers the identity of the mystery writer and persuades her to work at Darvell Park. At 28, he remains single, resisting his mother’s urging to find a suitable wife.
Meanwhile, his late father’s Italian mistress arrives on the scene, and rumors fly. There is an obvious solution to his situation, but the lady is uncooperative—until Sir Montague comes seeking his once-promised bride, and she must urgently review her options.
