Returning to the family estate, he swiftly discovers that the title is the only thinghe has inherited ? along with a mountain of his father?s debts andnothing to pay them with.A brave and proud soldier, nothing hasprepared the new Duke for the devastation to the family coffers caused by his late father?s love of lavish entertainment, Gaiety Girls andgood living. Meeting with the family Solicitor, the Duke is horrifiedto discover the Ducal properties are crumbling, everything of value is entailed and even the racehorses have not been schooled properly.Desperately seeking to rebuild the family fortune and honourablyfulfil his duty of care to the old and infirm of the village, hiscousin Edith, a sophisticated Socialite, offers a solution.
