London, 1802. Major Harry Sterling has left behind his regiment and
military duties following the death of his father and, in quick
succession, his older brother. The responsibilities that come with being
Duke of Ranliegh now fall to him, including marrying and siring an heir
without delay.
But who is the right match for the charming ex-soldier? There are plenty
of options, including the delightful Winslow sisters: Isabella, Angelina
and Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Harry finds it hard to leave his soldier instincts behind and
he uncovers a web of treachery in which it seems that someone is
supplying secrets to Napoleon, and that his brother's death was no
accident. As the investigation unfolds, so Harry's search for a wife
continues ... surely the eldest Winslow girl, the wilful Isabella,
wouldn't be right at all ...
