Penderleigh Castle is the home of the Robertsons, who have just been
dealt a terrible blow. Their new master, already an English duke, has
just been named the Scottish Earl of Penderleigh.
Ian Carmichael, Duke of Portmaine, is proud, aristocratic, handsome as
the devil's right hand, and kinder than any grousing Robertson has a
right to expect. Brandy Robertson--the old earl's granddaughter--takes
one look at the duke and her heart goes ballistic. The problem is, the
duke is already engaged, and if that isn't bad enough, someone wants to
kill him....
