Résumé :
In this Regency duet, love comes in pairs... The return of the Duke of Seaton's heir apparent after an absence of almost two decades has set Polite Society buzzing. Shortly after James Strong's arrival in London, his father, ill for several years, dies. Now Duke of Seaton and the owner of Strong Shipping Lines, the new duke turns the ton atwitter when he weds Mrs. Sophie Strong, a widow who inherited Neptune Shipping Line from her husband-and has the audacity to run the shipping empire herself. Two of the duke's sisters, Lady Pippa and Lady Georgina, have already wed, and Seaton and his duchess are now hosting a house party at the end of the Season. With more Strongs ready to make love matches, Polite Society watches with bated breath to see who will secure an invitation to the house party-and what couples will emerge from the social gathering betrothed.
