A bored Viscountess, a despairing Duke, a charitable project, a Lady lost, a secret heir, a new chance for love. ***FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED*** Julian Stafford, Duke of Windemere, has never quite recovered from the loss of his only son in a duel - a duel that need not have happened, had his now deceased wife not taken the attitude she did. His son's betrothed disappeared immediately after the duel, and now he has nothing but dealing with his dead wife's debts to fill his days. Widow, Lady Sylvia Edgeworth, Dowager Viscountess Pendholm, is looking for something to fill her days, now that both of her children are happily married. A charitable project seems just the thing. But when her offer to buy a house for her project uncovers mysteries for the Duke, and brings them into close contact, life changes for both of them. What really happened before the duel that took the life of the Duke's son? Will the son's betrothed ever be found? Can Lady Sylvia achieve her charitable goals - or will her attraction to the Duke distract her? Will the Duke allow himself to love again?
