Langthorne’s Honour
Returning from a long exile, Lord Alastair Langthorne, the somewhat arrogant Marquess of Lansbury returns to England to clear his name and find a bride. He has not been in London a week when his eyes alight on the beautiful Lady Helene Fairchild, the daughter of the Earl of Beresford. The Earl, however, is hardly enamoured of the match and what is more, despite her obvious attraction, Lady Helene will not have him. The Marquess is prepared to wait for as long as it takes, but then fate intervenes. The Old Duke dies threatening to leave all property that is not entailed to his dissolute cousin, Sir Tristram Langthorne unless he restores the family name and marries within three months.
The Marquess has to resort to desperate measures to succeed. Abducting Helene from a masquerade party, he flees to the Isle of Wight, with her father the Earl in hot pursuit. Can he win his bride over and save his estates on time? It is imperative he does so, and all in the face of the evil attempts of his malicious cousin to thwart him.
A tale of duelling, kidnap, betrayal and romance all set in the backdrop of Regency England.
