He is the greatest matrimonial prize in all of Christendom, the scandalous Duke of Tresham. When a young woman interferes in his Hyde Park duel, causing him to get shot, the duke hires her as his nurse, vowing that she will share his misery during his convalescence.
Far too bold for her own good, Jane Ingleby is the kind of woman a man might find beautiful were it not for her impudence. She questions the duke's every move, scolds his bad manners, breaches his secrets, and touches his soul. When Tresham offers to set Jane up in his London town house, love is the last thing on his mind. He never expects to do the unthinkable and fall in love with his mistress.
