The following pages have been written amidst many interruptions and completed amidst great difficulties. The excuse for their existence is to be found in the total absence of any adequate biography of their subject, and the attraction (to the author at any rate) of a varied and interesting career. My indebtedness to those who have made a study of the fifteenth century is acknowledged in the bibliography, but my obligations extend much further. My thanks are due to many librarians who have given me every facility to inspect manuscripts in their care, but to Mr. Falconer Madan of the Bodleian Library at Oxford I am under no ordinary debt of obligation. His consistent kindness and interest has made many paths smooth that would otherwise have been rough. I am indebted to Lord Leicester for his kindness in allowing me to examine a manuscript life of the Duke which forms part of his Library, and to Mr. Yates Thompson for a similar permission with regard to the Duke’s Psalter. Still more do I desire to thank Dean Kitchin for his courtesy and kindness in sending me a transcript of a letter in a Durham manuscript, whilst Professor Oman has given me the great encouragement of his sympathy and advice. To Dr. Morris of Bedford I owe assistance on some points of difficulty, and Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty, Garter, was kind enough to answer several questions with regard to the Duke’s armorial bearings. To my mother, who has spent many weary hours in copying my manuscript; to my sister, who is largely responsible for the index; and to my friend, Mr. H. W. Ward of Frenchay, whose assistance, both clerical and critical, has been freely given, the mere record of my gratitude is not sufficient. [more]

Charlotte ist die zweitälteste Tochter des Viscount Henry Winston und wird gemeinsam mit ihrer älteren Schwester Anne in die Londoner Gesellschaft eingeführt. Ihre zauberhafte Schwester erweckt sofort die Aufmerksamkeit des begehrtesten Junggesellen der Saison. Charlotte aber hat kein gutes Gefühl bei dem Werben des jungen Benedict. Deswegen versucht sie, eine Verlobung der beiden zu verhindern. Hierbei erhält sie unverhofft Unterstützung durch den Duke of Rochester. George Lennox, der Duke of Rochester, hat sich seit dem Tode seiner Ehefrau aus der Gesellschaft zurückgezogen. Obwohl er viel zu jung ist, um unverheiratet zu bleiben, hat er beschlossen, für den Rest seines Lebens keine Ehe mehr einzugehen, und beabsichtigt, seinen Neffen Benedict zum Erben zu benennen. Charlotte fühlt sich zu dem gut aussehenden Duke hingezogen, obwohl er gleichzeitig unnahbar wirkt. Welches Geheimnis schlummert in dem attraktiven Duke und warum kann sie nicht aufhören, an ihn zu denken? Kurzweiliger Liebesroman, der in die Zeit von Jane Austen und Bridgerton entführt. [more]
