Miss Abigail Harewood is determined to break free from the strictures of society and live life on her own terms, and the first thing she requires is a lover. When the Duke of Wallingford arrives on the doorstep of her rented castle, she thinks she's found the perfect candidate: handsome, dashing, and experienced in the art of love. But getting a rakish duke into her bed proves much more difficult than she imagines. To make matters worse, fate seems to have its own ideas for Abigail and Wallingford, and a casual affair isn't part of the plan.
What begins as a passionate attraction soon grows into something deeper and more profound than the two lovers can possibly imagine. But will they have the courage to seize a future filled with love?
