Unscathed from the wars, Gervase Frant finally returns to
his father's estate to claim his title as the new Earl of
Stanyon. But his stepmother's resentment and his half
brother's open disdain put a chill on Gervase's welcome. Now
he must establish himself as the new head of the house…and
ignore his family's rising hostility.
Then Gervase's
eye is caught by a lovely young woman—the same woman already
much in favor with his half brother. Now the brothers face
direct competition as they bid for the lady's attentions.
But as Gervase struggles to maintain a gentlemanly balance,
he begins to find himself the victim of repeatedly cruel
accidents. Soon it becomes increasingly clear that someone
wants the new Earl of Stanyon dead….
