description: Sebastian Eldridge , after a severe illness, is forced to return to the imposing ballrooms of high society. A naturally shy and unassuming second son, he had previously been able to fade into the background of this world of gossip and intrigue. Yet, following the death of his beloved brother, he is now heir to the family fortunes, and must take up the mantel as the next Duke of Marlsham. Before his confinement, Sebastian had revelled in a world where he was away from the public eye; enjoying the freedoms that anonymity afforded, and indulging in all the delights London had to offer. But all that is in the past. Now he is determined to follow a path that will make his parents proud of him. Find a wife, uphold the family honour, and avoid liaisons with other men. There is just one thing standing in his way; the Earl of Pemberton. Devilishly handsome, universally well-liked and vying for Sebastian’s own sister’s hand in marriage. Sebastian vows to prevent the match, after discovering the truth of Pemberton’s preferences, but the Earl is reluctant to agree without first demanding something in return. A request that, while saving his sister, will drag Sebastian back into a world from which he is desperately trying to escape.
