This story is well written and the mystery in the plot is daring. The main characters are lovable. The problem with the story is that the author doesn't incorporate "the last in line" rule. All that the present Duke has will go to the crown. His daughter will marry whoever the King decrees and this man will be come the new Duke. The King may have agreed before the man's death if the daughter married who she willed, as long as he was an acceptable, he would appoint that man the next Duke. None of this is actually explained in this book. I just happened to know this rule through some studying. This book is only available through subscription to Patricia Haverton's newsletter. It is a great read, but it's kind of off putting without knowing the rules for "last in line".
