Description
(WARNING! Contains substantial graphic sex, explicit sexual language, light SMBD and may upset delicate readers.) Charles Stafford arrives back from the Peninsular War, nursing terrible injuries and having to not only pick up the pieces of his former life, but shoulder the mantle of his disgraced brother's Marquisate. His father Thomas Stafford, the Duke of Durham, is considering nuptials with the beautiful Victoria Bertrand, the widow of the late Duke of Wentworth. Lady Amelia Stafford has refrained from having her come out while Charles was in danger in Iberia, but since told he was coming home, she has thrown herself into the whirl of the ton with unfortunate consequences. Is someone deliberately trying to hurt Lady Amelia? Will the Duke tie the knot with the Duchess? And what is the truth about Robin Stafford?
