Lord William Randell, Duke of Clermont, is a scandalous man, a rake and a seducer, clearly an unsuitable groom for the impeccable Lady Lucinda Grey. But he certainly needs to win the girl’s heart, moreover, get engaged to her and take her as his wife. Why? such a rush? Or is the Duke hatching some cunning plan? Yes, there is a plan! After all, Randall is in the secret service of the Crown, and he was ordered to hide Lucinda from Napoleonic spies. And of course, the best shelter is his house and his... bed.
