London, 1802. Major Harry Sterling has left behind his regiment
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.
However, Harry finds himself distracted from looking for a wife when his
soldier instincts lead him to a web of treachery and the possibility
that his brother's death was no accident. As his investigation unfolds,
so Harry's search for a wife continues ... surely the eldest Winslow
girl, the wilful Isabella, wouldn't be right at all .
