Dominic Alistair, Marquis of Vidal, is the son of Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, and he is, if possible, more of a rake than his father.

When Dominic manages to shoot a man in a duel–in a gaming hell and not even particularly following the rules of dueling–his father sends him to France.<\/p>\n

Mary Challoner, granddaughter of Sir Giles Challoner, was sent away to school to be raised like a lady at her father’s family’s expense, but when it came to her sister, her sister took entirely took much after her mother, and they received nothing from their father’s family. Yet despite their differences, Mary seeks to look after her family, and to keep her sister Sophia on the straight and narrow–no matter how much of a challenge that is.<\/p>\n

I very much liked Mary. She was strong and resourceful and not given to hysterics, yet was friends with those who might be given to such. I don’t like Dominic quite as much as I liked his father Justin, but it was still a fun and rollicking story, and it was took lots of twists and turns to get where it finally ended up.
