Some said the Duke of Cumberland was born of the devil. Without doubt King George's fifth son was dark of soul and design, but his disquieting charm, his wicked ways with the ladies, caused many a female heart to flutter and even the virtuous Lady Hester Russell to succumb. Fortunately, Caroline, the Junoesque, sumptuously beautiful American widow of Lord Clarence Percival and the toast of Regency London, recognized his dark side. Unfortunately, her younger sister, Annabelle was blind to it. Annabelle could have her pick of beaus, but to Caroline's consternation, she became infatuated with the satyric prince. Caroline turns to Captain Charles Burnside for help and then finds herself wondering if his Machiavellian role in her scheme is a trifle absurb...even a trifle dangerous. After all, Captain Burnside is also, in his way, as much a villian as the Duke.
