Twice widowed Robert Rothmore, Earl of Rockford, enjoys a breezy, carefree life in London as a diplomat and friend of the king. His two sons are being raised by competent caregivers in different parts of the country. All of that comes to an abrupt halt when Robert is notified that his spinster sister has run off with the bailiff and has left his estate in an uproar.
When Robert arrives at his estate, he finds that the bailiff has been stealing from him for years. His son William is not at Rock Hill; he's been left in the care of a destitute widow. His groom tells Robert terrible things about Mrs. Alissa Henning. He also tells Robert that Alissa trapped her husband by being pregnant -- thus losing his father's support. Robert rushes over to grab his son and confront the awful Mrs. Henning.
However, Alissa lives with her two sons, her sister and Robert's younger son William. Robert's shouts and censure change to apologies when he realizes that he knows precious little about his son.
The pages fly past because the story is funny, with lots of sparkling dialogue. Alissa is more than a match for Robert when he asks her to marry him in a marriage of convenience (for him). Although Alissa is doubtful, she is pragmatic enough to understand that it will solve several problems she is facing. As soon as they are married, Robert returns to London, leaving Alissa with the four boys (he had one son in each marriage and Alissa has two sons).
After Alissa puts things in motion to correct the problems on Robert's estate, she decides she wants more than an absentee husband. It is also common knowledge that Robert left her immediately after the wedding and people are talking. Alissa decides to broach Robert in his well-ordered life in London. By the time she and the four boys get through with Robert, he is shaken to his core. This is a delightful tale.
