It is December 1810. The family's expectation, and the rumor of society, is that Sarah Elham will marry George Blake, the Duke of Chishom. Sarah continues to hope that the man whom she once loved, Marc Lewis, the Earl of Barrow, will return from India.
Honor, however, demands that she marry George, and no other. Marc's return heralds more than just the beginning of Sarah's struggle to choose between love and honor.
A grievously injured Marc brings with him a danger that will threaten everyone whom Sarah cherishes. The situation challenges all of them. It's far more than one woman's separation of Suitors and Scoundrels.
