A reluctant earl matches wits with an illegitimate heiress in the
first novel of the Legacy Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling
author Catherine Coulter.
Marcus Wynham is passionate, quick to rage, and just as quick to
laughter. He's tough, opinionated, domineering, and known as the devil's
own son. Josephina Cochrain is serene and aloof, wearing her
nickname--"the Duchess"--as proudly as if she were truly born for the
title. Always in control, her smiles are as rare as bawdy jests in the
pulpit. She is self-reliant once she realizes that a very special talent
can make her so, a talent that will take everyone by surprise....
Marcus never asked to become the Earl of Chase. The Duchess never asked
to inherit her father's fortune. And neither of them asked for their
fates to become so inextricably intertwined....
