About A Prior Attachment

The Duke of Carlyle had found the perfect husband for his beautiful daughter, Lady Gemma Monteith. John Delevan was handsome, intelligent, witty, charming, and above all, very, very wealthy. But the duke had neglected one detail. Gemma happened to be head-over-heels in love with her childhood sweetheart, Captain George Godwin. And now that gallant officer and gentleman was coming home after heroic wartime service to claim Gemma as his bride. Wedding bells were ready to ring for Gemma--but who would be the one to put the ring on her finger...?
