Lord Marshall Stone, the brand-new Duke of Reith, has fled to Paris to visit his disgraced brother and to drown his grief over his father’s death in parties and female company. His reputation is going downhill fast, and he has no wish to save it. He even goes so far as to seduce who he thinks is the pretty companion of one of his friend. Except, the woman he seduces turns out to be his friend’s cousin and a noblewoman in her own right. One he can’t stop thinking about or wanting. To make matters worse, a mysterious figure begins sending threats that could destroy both Marshall and Dorothy and put the entire McGovern family in danger. The unlikely lovers must work together to figure out who is blackmailing them and to save the entire family from social ruin.
