Cap­tain Andrew Gra­ham returns home from the Napoleon­ic Wars after the death of his old­er broth­er, find­ing his father on his deathbed. Soon he becomes the Duke of Wind­ham and must deal not only with numer­ous respon­si­bil­i­ties but his way­ward half-broth­er, who has amassed a moun­tain of debt and then shoots Andrew so he can become the new duke.

Andrew awak­ens to an angel of mer­cy, Mrs. Smith, a mid­dle-class wid­ow who nurs­es him back to health. She thinks he’s a crim­i­nal, which amus­es him, but he soon falls in love with her beau­ty and spir­it. On the day he decides to ask for her hand in mar­riage, she dis­ap­pears and he has no way to find her—until he spies her across a Lon­don ballroom.

Though her heart belongs to the Cor­nish smug­gler she left behind, Phoebe places her­self once more on the Mar­riage Mart. She yearns to be a moth­er again—which means find­ing a husband.

What will Phoebe do when she learns that her Mr. Andrew is none oth­er than the famous Duke of Renown?
