About the book
— A reluctant gallant . . . . — Ross MacCailan, a lifelong Army man, never wanted his newly-inherited title. And as a proud and rugged Scot, he never dreamed that he would become a member of effete English society. But his stern sense of duty brought him home from the front, to campaign for war funds in the House of Lords. His first priority was learning the ways of the ton-- and the lady assigned to tutor him, Miss Adalaide Terrington, was as exacting as a drill sergeant! A mistress of manners . . . Adalaide, "the Terror of the Terringtons," had transformed many an awkward relative into an elegant gentleman. But this headstrong soldier was her most challenging pupil yet! As Ross made his bow to society beside her, they were about to find the maneuvers of the heart were as intricate as etiquette and as dangerous as any battle.
