This is quite an unusual historical romance. The heroine, Drusilla, is an orphaned and very wealthy merchant's daughter who has fewer suitors than her fortune would normally command due to her intelligence and sharp tongue. The hero, Gabriel, is the unusual half of the couple - his mother is the daughter of a Duke (and now married to a Marquess) but his father was a sultan in the Middle East. As a result, Gabriel has both exotic looks and and very irregular antecedents. Drusilla and Gabriel are caught in what looks like a compromising position (but actually wasn't) and are forced to marry. The book is about how they come to know each other once they are wed and find their way to their happy ever after ending. This book starts slow but has a satisfying ending if you stick with it.
