Publisher Description
In spite of the arranged marriage between this duke's son and wealthy heiress, Lord Sebastian Gresham and Lady Georgina Stane find themselves in the unusual position of being in love. But can their love withstand each other's secrets?
Lord Sebastian Gresham is a battle-tested soldier and brilliant strategist. Yet all his life he's had to hide his painful secret. What a miracle it is that he's found the perfect bride. Lady Georgina Stane is beautiful, witty, and brilliantly intelligent. Sebastian is head over heels in love, proud as a peacock, and terrified. If she finds out, he'll lose her love forever.
Lady Georgina has found the perfect match in Lord Sebastian, a handsome former soldier with a brilliant mind for strategy. Prior to the wedding, Sabastian travels to meet Georgina's parents, who turn out to be rather…eccentric. Georgia fears that her perfect man will turn his nose up at her odd family and she dreads the possibility of having to choose between them.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ashford's third Duke's Sons Regency (after What the Duke Doesn't Know) introduces more delightful characters who feel appropriate to the period while dealing with challenges that resonate with the modern reader. She seasons the story with plenty of teasing brotherly warmth and good-natured hijinks in the name of love. Soldier and self-proclaimed dullard Lord Sebastian Gresham travels to the country home of his clever betrothed, Georgina Stane, and is welcomed by her distracted mother's roving pack of pugs, an elegant guest from India brought in to indulge her father's current obsession with reincarnation, and two younger sisters intent on pushing Georgina and Sebastian's wedding date up in the hopes of a quicker escape to their sister's future London household. Sebastian navigates the challenges of the Stane family with ease but fears humiliation if Georgina and her family discover that he cannot read. Ashford's vivid characters and lively plots that drop surprise adventures in the midst of courting give the series a spirit of fun. The underlying message, that quirks and struggles should be no impediment to familial or romantic love, is conveyed with warmth and tenderness.
