The story starts with Lily, hugely pregnant, running to escape the site of her husband's death. She is found, already in labor, by the duke of Westlake. Arthur Westlake, who about thirty seconds ago was plagued with ennui, is immediately embroiled into affairs that will change his life.First, he has to help Lily give birth, then find out who she is, and what to do with this delightful young lady.Meanwhile, Lily will do anything to protect her newborn son Simon, up to and including, keeping secrets, lying, and marrying in haste.It's a great read. Nice, believable, well thought-off characters. A plot that is both historically accurate (for the limited choices Lily has) and rather modern. Good description of the characters feelings : not overboard, not too sweet, not too harsh, just right.And of course, it all ends well.Please note that they are some (not too graphic) sex scenes and description of violence against the Heroine.
