Sparks and fur fly when two Victorian dog owners meet in Regent’s Park! Margaret Haselden knows how it feels to be alone in the world, which is why she takes in the scrappy stray terrier she finds rummaging through her rubbish bins. Despite her best efforts, the little dog proves more than she can handle, especially when it bites the prized bulldog of the sternly handsome Edward Cherrill, Duke of St. Lawrence. Edward is initially outraged by the incident but is soon captivated by Margaret’s determination to champion the cause of animal welfare. As their paths continue to cross, Edward feels drawn to her warmth and compassion–qualities that starkly contrast with the rigid expectations of his noble title. As their bond deepens, Edward faces a profound dilemma: Can he defy the responsibilities of his rank and choose love over duty? Or must he come to heel like so many dukes before him?
