This story has many appeals, one being falling in love again in your forties. Although, our widow is in her late twenties, early thirties. Falling in love with a companion may bring the Duke complications, but the Duke will learn a lesson in keeping things to himself, before speaking out of turn with his eldest manipulating daughter. Gillian is in love with the Duke, but he even keeps his plans from her, which of course is another mistake. My problem with the whole story is how the Duke allows his oldest married daughter to manipulate, lie and take over his house, even treating his servants with disdain. I find that this makes the Duke look weak, when actually he is just a very private person, because of the loss of his wife. The story starts off strong, but it loses something during the epilogue. It wasn't the strong finish that it could have been.
