About this listen

After the tragic death of his wife, Jasper, the 8th Duke of Bainbridge buried himself away in the dark cold walls of his home, Castle Blackwood. When he's coaxed out of his self-imposed exile to attend the amusements of the Frost Fair, his life is irrevocably changed by his fateful meeting with Lady Katherine Adamson. With her tight brown ringlets and silly white-ruffled gowns, Lady Katherine Adamson has found her dance card empty for two Seasons. After her father's passing, Katherine learned the unreliability of men, and is determined to depend on no one, except herself. Until she meets Jasper. In a desperate bid to avoid a match arranged by her family, Katherine makes the Duke of Bainbridge a shocking proposition; one that he accepts. Only, as Katherine begins to love Jasper, she finds the arrangement agreed upon is not enough. And Jasper is left to decide if protecting his heart is more important than fighting for Katherine's love.

Nice story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The Hero's loved wife died in childbirth, (a common danger at that time, still is). He is traumatised and becomes a hermit. Somehow he gets the sobriquet of being a "Mad Duke" and is accused of killing his wife; makes no sense.
The Heroine is a "Twenty First Centry" woman who has travelled back in time. She pretends to "kowtow" to her mother, and blames all her mishaps on her twin sister. Who is also in the wrong Centry and reciochet between a "vacuous" to having some sort of brain.
Then the "icing on the cake" in this unbelievable story

A stupid story.
