Robert Blake thought his world of all-consuming guilt and anger over the untimely death of his younger brother, Stefan would never end. To ease his overwhelming grief, the Duke of Lear frequented London's smoke-filled gaming rooms - "home to the cream of society."
He was truly a man filled with rage - that being added to by an unfaithful lover, whom he caught with another man. Eventually, London's nightlife bored him and he chose instead to leave Blake House to wallow alone in his sorrow out of sight in the confines of his country estate, Stovely Hall.
However by the following spring, the duke's dark world was unexpectedly turned upside down when a lovely and spunky young woman sought his help. Jane Chandler dearly wanted to bring her injured brother home from battle-torn Spain, a journey that would be fraught with all manner of danger.
As the story progresses, Jane’s self-determined attitude comes to loggerheads with Robert's still lingering insensitivity and anger. This book is a 19th century love story full of jealousy, treachery and heart-wrenching misunderstandings as the duke learns to love and trust again.
