the long version

He had never intended to marry, but at the age of seventeen Christian Hill impulsively defended a maid's honor only to be blamed for defaming it, and was coerced into marrying Dorcas Froggatt. But then he left to pursue his military career, putting the surreal event out of his mind. Until someone begins making inquiries about a man named Christopher Hill--the alias he used when he wed Dorcas years before ... "Christian Hill, lord Grandiston, salva a una joven de ser violada y termina obligado a casarse con ella, aunque lo hace bajo nombre falso. Diez años más tarde la joven, Dorcas Caroline Frogatt, convencida de que su antiguo salvador murió en la guerra, desea casarse con sir Elyam Colne. Christian, por su parte, se ha convertido en un personaje poco fiable que ha despilfarrado su fortuna y que necesita, urgentemente, contraer matrimonio con alguna dama de alta sociedad. Pero cuando Dorcas se entera de que tal vez su antiguo marido está vivo, decide ir a buscarlo a Doncaster. Ambos coinciden en una posada en el camino aunque están muy cambiados y no se reconocen. Sin embargo, entre ellos existe una química imposible de soslayar que amenaza con echar chispas. Ahora Christian se ha propuesto seducir a esa mujer sensual y misteriosa, sin saber que puede tratarse de su verdadera esposa, que ha venido a echar por tierra todos sus planes."--Page 4 of cover.
