Description:
Ever since he was a little boy, Jack Cantrell, the second son of an earl, had been taking the punishment for whatever crimes his older brother committed. Fed up, Jack had left for the Caribbean to make his own way into the world and cut off all ties with his family. When his brother dies, Jack is forced to return to England and once again finds himself cleaning up after his older sibling: The estate is in disrepair and there are enormous debts, a disgruntled mistress, and Priscilla, the forgotten fiancee -- not to mention the nagging aunt and two eccentric cousins living at the family manor.

Jack would like nothing better than to walk away from it all, but the obligations and Priscilla's plea for him to stay keep him rooted in England. For purposes that suit them both, Jack and Priscilla pretend to be engaged and thus strike an unlikely alliance. But this friendship soon grows into love -- a love that is threatened by an angry mistress looking to get her due and the arrival of a child from the Caribbean.
