The Duke of Buckhurst, handsome, wealthy, a brilliant horseman, and known to everyone as Buck, has sworn that he will never marry. Cutting a swathe through the sophisticated beauties of the Beau Monde, who are drawn to his sardonic charm like social butterflies to a bright light, he has only one requirement for his amours: that they are safely married to someone else.
