Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, is known as a beast for his bad temper. He is a trained doctor who treats patients in his large castle in Wales. Linnet Thrynne has just had her reputation ruined based on a lie, and now has no prospects of a good marriage. However, Piers' father, the Duke of Windebank, convinces her to travel with him to Wales and use her beauty to captivate his son, but Piers has sworn never to marry. Additionally, he has not seen his father in over 20 years and blames him for many problems in his life. This book did not start off well for me and it took a while to enjoy, but I'm glad I stuck with it for its unusual storyline about a "gentleman doctor." The most interesting part is when a scarlet fever epidemic hits the area, and one of the major characters contracts it. 374 pages.
