About the book
The Queen's request was, of course, a command, intended to cure the maddeningly handsome Marquis of Weybourne of his dangerous penchant for the wives of peers. Still, London's most eligible bachelor, with his spellbinding charm, was an odd choice of escort for Clotilda, the penniless but exquisite orphan daughter of the late Duke of Hyde. A strange command from the Queen... but could it also include the call of love?
