After his entire family dies in a tragic carriage accident, where he is the only survivor, he partakes in disreputable behavior to deal with his loss and locks down his heart. Upon making Elizabeth’s acquaintance, his heart and soul awakens. Knowing he will never be worthy of her, he proposes anyway. Will Elizabeth take him as he is or will she beg off upon learning of his past secrets? Elizabeth falls in love with Amesbury in the beginning of her second Season. When he proposes she knows her happily-ever-after is within reach, or so she thinks. During a masquerade ball she overhears a conversation between Amesbury and a woman from his past. Elizabeth is beyond inside. When she agrees to give him the opportunity to explain, she is torn between the transgressions of his past and her withering heart. Mr. Smythe, a Bow Street Runner, captures Mary’s heart when they first meet at the beginning of the Season. While on holiday, at the Marquess of Amesbury’s country estate, Mary is caught in a compromising position with him.

Time is of the utmost urgency if they are to get ahead of the gossipmongers and save Mary from ruin. Mr. Smythe knows loving the granddaughter of a countess will come to a painful and heartbreaking end. It doesn’t stop him from taking the risk. A risk he loses. Members from the upper-class do not marry from the lower-class. Nor do they marry a man hired to keep them safe from highwaymen. How unfortunate Mary and Smythe’s hearts do not follow society’s strict rules.

The 5th Duke, Thomas Seabrook, insists she has a season and dares anyone to question the title of Lady before her name. In no time, she’s dining and dancing in the aristocracy's company, especially one mysterious and damaged duke. Harry Sinclair, the Duke of Newbury, fought alongside Wellington at Waterloo. As he convalesces from his battle injuries, he finds himself thrown into the life of a peer. He never expected to inherit his uncle’s title, nor did he want it. Bored with the leisurely life of a duke, Harry continues serving King and Crown in a new position as a spy. Who would ever suspect a scarred, one eyed, lame legged duke to be a spy? Nor would one believe he was duchess hunting. Since he now held the title of duke, he needed an heir and a spare. Even with his supposed flaws, Wentworth set his sights on Harry for his illegitimate sister. Harry and his cousin, Hugh Sinclair, both pay homage to Penelope. When Penelope uncovers the truth of Harry and Hugh’s identity and deceit, can she forgive and allow love to enter her heart? Or will bitterness and hatred tear her heart apart, never to be whole again?

So when the marquess wagers away his daughter to a lecher of a man, he has no choice but to step in and rescue her. Lady Victoria has a reputation for being as tart as a lemon.
