Lady Amelia Willoughby is tired of waiting for marriage.
Since the cradle, she's been betrothed to the current Duke
of Wyndham, who ignores her. Thomas gives her a polite nod,
but has never attempted any conversation with her other
than polite chitchat. Amelia decides it's time for action.
She gives Thomas the cut hoping to gain his notice. Her
timing could not be worse. Amelia draws his attention when
a major catastrophe comes crashing upon Thomas -- a long-
lost Cavendish cousin appears with a legitimate claim to
the title.
Thomas Cavendish, the Duke of Wyndham, accepts the
responsibility to his title and carries out his duties with
pride. To counter his irrational father, the previous duke,
Thomas maintains a reasonable manner with a reputation of
always making the right choice. He accepts with resignation
the fact that everyone cedes to his wishes due to his
powerful title. When his ill-mannered and cruel grandmother
locates a long-lost grandson, Thomas enters into a
nightmare. He will lose everything that makes up his
identity. He's always been the duke; he knows nothing else.
Amelia watches in horror as her father claims that she is
contracted to wed the Duke of Wyndham. If Thomas does not
carry that title, then she will have to marry Jack. Amelia
wants Thomas, with or without a title. Now she must
convince Thomas of that fact.
Leave it to Ms. Quinn to surprise readers with a unique
companion book to her previous THE LOST DUKE OF WYNDHAM.
The Lost Duke was told from Jack's point of view, while Mr.
Cavendish is told from Thomas' perspective of the same
event. The books are mirror images of one another. Ms.
Quinn has surpassed herself with these two winning novels.
Amelia Willoughby has been engaged to the Duke of Wyndham
for as long as she can remember. Literally. A mere six
months old when the contracts were signed, she has spent
the rest of her life waiting. And waiting. And
waiting...for Thomas Cavendish, the oh-so-lofty duke, to
finally get around to marrying her. But as she watches him
from afar, she has a sneaking suspicion that he never
thinks about her at all...
It's true. He doesn't. Thomas rather likes having a
fiancée—all the better to keep the husband-hunters at bay—
and he does intend to marry her...eventually. But just
when he begins to realize that his bride might be
something more than convenient, Thomas’s world is rocked
by the arrival of his long-lost cousin, who may or may not
be the true Duke of Wyndham. And if Thomas is not the
duke, then he’s not engaged to Amelia. Which is the
cruelest joke of all, because this arrogant and
illustrious duke has made the mistake of falling in
love...with his own fiancée!
