After Emilyann was born, her father (the Duke of Aylesbury) and the Earl of Stokely, decided that their children should one day marry and signed a document to that effect. Years later, after the death of Emilyann's father, the new duke wanted Emilyann's inheritance and tried to force her to marry his step-son Bobo.
By that time, the young earl was fighting against Bonaparte. Emilyann/Sparrow tracked down Everett/Smoky and demanded that he marry her to save her from Bobo. Smoky did and immediately returned to the front.
At the time of her hasty marriage, Sparrow was known as a hellion and a hoyden. However, she took over the dilapidated Stokely holdings and oversaw the remodeling and repairs of the lands, tenant's houses and main house.
Lady Emilyann became the toast of London and an accomplished overseer of her husband's lands. But is this what Smoky wants for a wife?

Sweet and funny traditional Regency, a quick read.
