Description: "From his earliest years Helver Trebourne, son of the Duke and Duchess of Saymore, had set tongues wagging in the sleepy town of Tisbury, and often with good reason. Only Edgitha Durden, his spirited next-door neighbour, enjoyed Helver's confidence and to him she was always Eddie. Drawn to the continent by the excitement surrounding the Congress of Vienna, Helver returns three years later to find himself the new Duke of Saymore. Suddenly a man of responsibility and one of the most eligible bachelors around, he is fair game for the likes of red-haired Lady De Courcy. Meanwhile, Eddie must contend with the questionable intentions of the devoted Dr Thorne. In this fast-paced and witty comedy of errors, will Helver realize his perfect match is right under his nose before it's too late?"--Publisher description.
