Although still in his early twenties, Christopher Hartleigh
now finds himself Duke of Somersham and the head of the Hartleigh family. He
thinks it will be an easy task until his young cousin, Penelope, brings up the
subject of Pier Gaston, a French aristocrat left penniless by the revolution.
Penelope's father, the late Duke, has already refused consent for her to marry
Pier, believing his only interest to be in her fortune, but she has stubbornly
kept writing to him. Now Christopher is Duke, she hopes that he will be more
sympathetic to her cause and allow them to marry.
Christopher hopes she will meet someone more suitable at the
London season, and steers her towards Viscount Michael. Her determination takes
him by surprise and he feels inadequate to the task he has been given. He also
believes the Frenchman is only interested in his cousin's fortune and refuses
his consent to the marriage.
Naively, he hopes she will see sense and marry the Viscount;
instead she elopes with Pier, an act which will cause a terrible scandal if it
is known.
His duty now is to follow them and bring her back, hopefully
before it is too late.
