When Lady Athina Ling is forced to stay the night at a Posting Inn, she hears the screams of a small boy being savagely beaten by Lord Burnham, his step-father. She vows to rescue him and very early the next morning she takes the child to his uncle, the Marquess of Rockingdale, to persuade him to take Peter in. Together, they realise that Lord Burnham will probably murder his stepson for his inheritance, but the Marquess can only become Peter's legal guardian if he is engaged to be married - and neither he nor Athina have any wish to marry.

Work Description
When the spirited young Lady Athina Ling was forced to stay the night at a Posting Inn, she heard the screams of a small boy being savagely beaten by Lord Brunham, his stepfather. She vowed to rescue the child woefully mistreated, and very early next morning she takes him to his uncle's manor house. The Marquess of Rockingdale was excessively attractive -- Society's spoiled and notorious darling. Too much so -- Queen Victoria would appoint him her Master of the Horse only if he married... or at the very least, produced a fiancée. Athina agreed to the masquerade for the boy's sake, but when they joined forces to defy a desperate enemy, a charade of Love became genuine -- Heaven's truest Gift of Bliss....
