He doesn’t believe in love at first sight…
Phillip Villiers, a Cavalry officer who recently returned from the Napoleonic Wars, considers himself lucky he only lost an eye in battle, unlike many of his friends who lost so much more. Contemplating what to do with the rest of his life, Phillip is shocked to learn he’s inherited the title and estate of the late Duke of Buckingham, who passed away a year ago. Expecting the late duke’s widow to be an amiable and sedate elderly woman, Phillip is doubly shocked to discover the Duchess of Buckingham is young, beautiful, and the most vibrant woman he’s ever met.
She doesn’t believe in happily ever after…
