Summary:
A few years ago, Toby Thatcher joined The Darling set after his father took violent exception to him dressing as a man. Now, he is living happily with his new, self-made family in the countryside where he assists the local surgeon in his practice, studies natural history and human anatomy and waits for the opportunity to study at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. He is most definitely not looking for love (he is far too busy).
But then the tall, dark and handsome Duke of Montague arrives and takes up residence at Upperfield Manor, just half a mile away from Briar Park. And Toby might be busy, but somehow, he still finds the time to talk to His Grace. To become friendly with him. To know him. Perhaps even to fall in love with him?
