Eliza Berkeley is all set to marry a Duke, she is the second daughter to a Baron and is floored when a man she barely knows proposes to her, except the Duke is not at all who he seems to be. He is in fact an imposter posing as Stephen Huntingdon the Duke of Wyndale, so when the wedding day arrives and the REAL duke shows up, you may imagine what happens - or you can think you do.
This is a short read and I can be fairly judgmental on shorts because I expect more depth as far as character and emotion go, since this is only a teaser! This failed in that department for me, it left me just kind of shrugging at the end, which was wrapped up quickly and messily. I wish I had seen more between Stephen and Eliza - because she somehow fell in love with him after only a few times of talking to him per the book.
A lot more could have been done and there could have been improvements made to tidy the story up. Ah, well!

This is a super short story, only 90 pages. Because of that things happen very quickly. It’s got a lot of intrigue and that makes me wish it were longer so that it could be more fleshed out.
