Abigail Morgan, the eldest daughter of Duke of Hamilton and new Baroness Tredegar, was long considered unmarriable until Cecil Morgan came along and destroyed her happy spinsterhood. Filled with her deeply held disdain for mankind, Abigail intends not to stay married for long, one way or another. She has lofty dreams that are fuelled by suffragist meetings she secretly attends, and she will not allow any man, even her husband, to cage her.
The newly-minted Duke of Argyll is best known for the length of time he’s spent away from his homeland. Always known to be a restless soul, Alistair has traveled much of the known world, and a fair bit of the unknown, too. The death of his father five years ago never reached his ever-wandering ears, until he returned home in the fall of 1887 and was informed of his father’s accident and subsequent death. To meet his family’s expectations, he has set aside his wandering ways and now sets his mind to finding a wife and tending to his responsibilities as duke.
