Now the nephew and heir presumptive to a dukedom, is ready to remarry and give his young daughter, Valentina, the mother she desperately needs; a woman who will not only love him, but love his daughter too. James told Valentina, his six year old daughter, that she could pick out her new Mama. The Duke and Duchess of Darnley are having a house party of women for James to choose that bride. The last person he expected to find at his house party is the very woman who jilted him eight years ago.
