But they do have one thing in common--the secrets they can't risk escaping. When Giles' father, the curmudgeonly Duke of Harpenden, unexpectedly turns up his toes, it's only a matter of time before someone comes crawling out of the woodwork who knows the true circumstances of his only son's birth. As Giles and Diana dive into his family's past, the attraction that the two of them insisted wasn't there proves impossible to ignore. Soon, the future of the Sinclair estate isn't the only thing on the line...
