Description

The men of the Bastion Club have confirmed their bravery while battling England's opponents, but nothing has prepared them for coping with that many solid of problems: the alternative gender. Deverell, Viscount Paignton, is in desperate need of a spouse. Unmoved by the matchmaking “herd,” he seeks support from his cousin, who directs him to a girl she vows is ideal for him. Sent to a country-house party to appear the woman around, he finds her not swanning about one of the visitors but with her nose buried in a book in the collection.
