Orphaned young, Oliver Sterling, eleventh duke of Kendal, lives in seclusion in his massive home, Horncliffe Manor.

Rebecca fears this husband she has never seen in the light of dayβyet in the marriage bed, her husband is kind and gentle. And though they remain in darkness, she detects nothing odd about him.
