The Duke’s Deception Marianne Devenish arrives in Great Bentley expecting to find her great-uncle in residence. Instead she finds The Duke of Wister, Theodolphus Rickham pretending to be Sir Theodore Devenish, a tulip of the ton, more interested in the cut of his coat than in politics. Unable to stay in a bachelor establishment she moves to Frating Hall, with the permanently impecunious Lord and Lady Grierson. She discovers, to her horror, that Charles, and his younger brother, Edward are involved with the local smugglers. Theo's dissembling inevitably leads to misunderstandings and heartbreak and with her reputation in tatters Marianne flees to London. But she is ostracised by society and is obliged to find refuge at Drayton House, a small estate in Hertfordshire. Here her life turns into a nightmare. Can Theo catch his spy, save Edward and Charles from the gallows and rescue the woman he loves before she is lost to him for ever?

All three books were great stories. I found some errors in the books. Which tells me the proof reader was not very good at their job. But it did not take away from the pleasure of these stories. Now on top box set three.
Not finished the first story, but 1 star for poor editing. Charles Greirson's name changed to Charles Devenish when he stayed at Bentley Hall to recover following his horse race accident! Martha Frasier Devenish is a silly chit...and its taking me far too long to finish reading. Theres also no passion between Theo and "Marianne Devenish" making it hard to beleive they are even attracted to each other.
