Anthony Dryden Courtenay has been exiled to a Jamaican plantation for the past five years, but on the voyage home, he is charmed by Chastity Spencer, the vicar's daughter. Although she's a tempting armful, he struggles to avoid the delectable Miss Spencer, recognizing that a dalliance with her could land him in leg-shackles. As the new Earl of Devon, it's his duty to marry well and secure the succession. He must look higher than the dowerless Miss Spencer as a life's mate. Chastity's cousin, Mary Fellingham, is a high-born lady with whom he could forge a suitable marriage. Why then, knowing his duty, does the idea of marrying her hold absolutely no appeal? And why does the mere sight of Chastity stir his senses so?
