'Were I Younger, I'd Ask You to Dance,' the Duke Teased the Widow — 'Who Says You Can't?' She Said

"Were I younger, I'd ask you to dance," the gray-haired Duke of Kenwyn teased the quiet widow sitting against the ballroom wall. Lydia Marsh, a poor curate's widow working as a paid chaperone, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Who says you can't?" In front of all Cornwall, the lonely Duke put down his cane and waltzed. But the dance costs Lydia everything. By morning she has lost her place, and a stranger has bought up her late husband's debts. When the Duke brings her and her clever little daughter Bea to his great house on the cliffs, Lydia notices something strange: he is sharp and witty every morning and gray and confused every night, after his handsome nephew gives him his heart drops. A little brown bottle with no label. A forged letter in her own hand. The debtors' prison at Bodmin, a midnight climb up the smugglers' stair, a race against the tide in a flooding sea cave, and a public trial to declare the Duke mad. Sit back, relax and enjoy this long, warm second-chance romance about a brave widow, an older duke who learns to live again, and one unforgettable dance.
