Following the tragic death of their father in war, the Carstairs children face destitution and reproach from their supercilious uncle and penny‑pinching aunt. A sudden arrival from the Duke of Halliford changes their fate, as he invites the siblings to his country estate. It was his wounded younger brother, Richard, who had been entrusted with their care by their father. The Carstairs agree to settle at the duke’s home and help with Richard’s rehabilitation. As time passes, the Duke develops a romantic interest in Miranda, though she remains cautious, fearing an embarrassing meeting from months prior. Amid the social intricacies of Regency society, the siblings must navigate love, duty, and inheritance while forging new bonds within the Duke’s circle.
