Enter into the world of the Duke of St. James in Victorian England, 1863. . .
Lizzie Murdock has heard of this Duke, derisively known as merely 'St.
James' in an ironic twist to the title he holds versus his lifestyle known to be
anything but saintly. The fact that he is rich and once considered 'the catch
of the decade' holds no attractions for her.
When he offers her an astounding proposal, she is more offended than
flattered and vows to rebuff his determined advances. Little does she know
that their continued sparring over her future will lead to the revelation that
he believes he won't be sharing in it for very long. "I simply believe there is
a very good possibility that you shall become a widow at an extremely
young age," he tells her. "Now doesn't that make the prospect of marrying
me much more pleasant?"
With those words, Lizzie is sucked into his world, a world where one would
expect to find a self-centered man enjoying privilege and ease, but where
instead she finds a man of uncommon character fighting for his life and
prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for those he loves.
With her involvement will come consequences that neither of them can
foresee, and an arranged proposal meant to flush out evil produces much
more until their very survival will depend upon their love for each other.
