I read this book a while back, so I don't remember as many details as I'd like. The basic premise is that Regina's brother, Sir Andrew, has received some threats due to political issues and leaves his son with Regina for the summer. The Duke's carriage breaks down while travelling and, while searching for help, he comes across Regina's home and thwarts an attempt to kidnap her nephew. He gets injured in the process and stays to convalescence.
Regina is quite unusual. She's a 26-year old spinster, a bluestocking, very tall, and owns a stud farm. From what I remember, the Duke is not as bad as the blurb says, but he's very top lofty and used to getting his way. Of course, the two develop feelings for each other and the Duke mellows out some. Regina teaches him about her operations and the Duke becomes a role model to her nephew.
This was an interesting book and worth the reading but nothing exceptional.
