In a country far, far away… Lady Gwendolyn Beaumaris and her brother have been known as the Downing twins since their father’s death when they were eight years old. At twenty-two, Gwen and her mother have settled in Boston while her brother tries to make his fortune in the fur trade. Down to their last pennies, she must consider marriage to a wealthy middle-aged merchant. The brass ring is so close… Lord Wickton has worked tirelessly the past two years to bring honor back to the family name. When the viscount learns he is the heir presumptive to his great uncle’s dukedom, his prayers are answered. A comedy of errors… When a letter arrives announcing that Gwen’s brother is the new Duke of Shackerley, mother and daughter come up with a desperate plan: Gwendolyn will impersonate her brother and assume the dukedom. But when the sinfully handsome Wickton meets them at the dock, Gwen is hopelessly smitten. A tale of love, deception, and the power of fate will entangle a desperate viscount with a daring female. Can he forgive her charade, or will he snuff out the burning passion that rages in her heart.
