Every time I read the heroine’s name, which is Emilia Highhart, I wondered if it was a play on Amelia Earhart. Doesn't it sound like a play on words for you? Anyway, that's beside the point and doesn't have anything to do with the story. The story has to do with sibling rivalry and mistaken identity. They are the main plots of this novel.
The Duke of Grafton had two sons. They were twins. His heir, Phillip, was the important one. Devon was the spare. He was only worth something if Phillip got in trouble. Devon would take the punishment... he'd do anything for one scrap of his father's approval, but getting into a duel for an action he hadn't committed? Enough was enough!
Five years later Lord Phillip Kensington, Marquis of Huntley, is the soon to be Duke (of Buckingham? - weird title change at the end of the novel). His dying father kept talking about getting married, but Phillip wasn't interested.
Devon Kensington arrives in London at his father's request and as the man was dying he decided to come. He passed time idly in London as his brother and had a little run in with a young American girl. The gorgeous redhead turned his head and fueled his lust. One kiss from her was not enough...
Phillip was intrigued by the gossip of this little American, Emilia Highhart and how he had caught her at a ball he didn't remember attending. Upon learning she was the heiress of Diamond Shipping he was determined to claim her for his own.
