Lady Ariana Hart has loved Jared Langley the seventh Duke of Reston since she was twelve years old until the night the rogue broke her heart.

He must waylay the suspicions of his quirky servants and neighbors get to Wellington before the French spies do fix his fountain--before Seven shows up--so Jared has a way home and definitely not fall in love with the irresistible Lady Ariana..
