But it is not until he’s in a duel to the death, fighting for the reputation of the woman he loves, that Villiers finally realizes that the greatest risk may not be in the dueling field. Torn between logic and passion, between intelligence and the imagination, Villiers finds himself drawn to the very edge of impropriety. Half the ton believes Lisette mad – and Villiers is inclined to agree. She’s engaged to another man, and doesn’t give a fig for status or title. Lisette, the outspoken daughter of the Duke of Gilner, cares nothing for clothing or decorum. Villiers betroths himself to her without further ado.Īfter all, no other woman really qualifies. The Duke of Montague’s daughter, Eleanor, is exquisitely beautiful and fiercely intelligent. Leopold Dautry, the notorious Duke of Villiers, must wed quickly and nobly – and his choices, alas, are few.
