During his stay in France when the British armies are fighting Napoleon his brother Tony, Marques of Andover finds him a bride with only a few blemishes, but one big advantage: a very much needed fortune.\nKit marries Anthea Faifax, daughter of an earl turned privateer by proxy.\nAnthea Fairfax is unfashionably tall, rides her horses like the very Devil and knows how to run her estates. She would have caught a duke if it had not been for her fatal passion for her neighbor's son Jeffrey. After a disastrous wedding night with her first old husband her reputation is gone to tatters. Her cousin, the new earl after her father's death, sells her off to the highest bidder: Kit Andover, war-hero and womanizer.\nAgain her wedding night with Kit turns into a disaster for entirely different reasons than her first one. Kit mistrusts his new wife and at first he does not want anything to do with her, although she manages to haunt his dreams.  Help from concerned friends and family however is on the way....",
