In a country far, far away…
Lady Gwendolyn Beaumaris and her brother have been known as the Bernard twins since their father's death. Fearful that their grandfather, the Duke of Shackerley, would take her son, Gwen's mother relocates them in Boston where she had family. At nineteen, Gwen and her mother have been waiting to hear from her brother, who is trying to make his fortune in the timber trade. Down to their last pennies, a wealthy middle-aged merchant comes to the rescue with a marriage proposal for Miss Bernard.
The brass ring is so close…
Lord Wickton has worked tirelessly the past five years to bring honor back to the family name. His father's debts have been paid, and he is now returning the entailed estate to working order. When the viscount learns he is the heir presumptive to his great uncle's dukedom, it seems fortune is knocking at his door. But his honor and desire for family compels him to make one more attempt to find the heir apparent.
A comedy of errors…
When English investigators arrive with a letter announcing that Gwen's brother is the new Duke of Shackerley, mother and daughter come up with a desperate plan: Gwendolyn will impersonate her twin and assume the dukedom until her brother can be located. But their confidence soon dwindles when the sinfully handsome Wickton meets them at the dock, and Gwen is hopelessly smitten.
A tale of love, deception, and the power of fate will entangle a desperate viscount with a daring female. Can he forgive her charade, or will he snuff out the burning passion that rages in her heart?
A closed-door historical fiction set in Regency England and Boston after the Napoleonic Wars.
