The heart-breakingly handsome Duke of Tynemouth is appalled to find that his torrid affaire d’coeur with the alluring Aline, Countess of Langstone, is destined to end, because Queen Victoria insists that he marries one of Prince Albert’s German relatives, who is fat and ugly.

To refuse is unthinkable, so, in desperation, he agrees to pre-empt his Monarch by cynically marrying Aline’s innocent young niece, Honora.

The beautiful Honora is horrified at the prospect of marrying a man she has never met, let alone love, but she has little choice.

Heartbroken and facing a life without the love she has always dreamt about, a husband who seems to hate her and a wedding night she dreads, she flees and falls prey to an even worse fate.

Now that he might lose her forever, the Duke realises that it is not hate for Honora that beats in his heart. It is love!

But has his awakening come too late?

Author’s Note
Author’s NotePrince Albert remained a Coburger all his life. Nothing about him was English except his papers of naturalisation. He looked German and spoke German to the Queen. Yet in 1842 he felt convinced that he was accepted in England. At the same time he never missed an opportunity to bring into the country ‘his own people’ and he started with Baron Stockmar to help reorganise the Royal Household. Both the Prince and the Queen were obsessed with the idea that marriage was a cure for all evils. When Prince Albert’s brother Ernest became involved in a reprehensible love affair, the Prince advised him to marry a virtuous wife and ‘to purify himself in the eyes of the world’. Ernest took the advice and married Alexandrina of Baden. “Ernest’s marriage,” the Queen wrote, “is a great, great delight to us, thank God! I say, as I so ardently wished it.”
