Will Dorning, as an earl's spare, has accepted the thankless duty of managing his rambunctious younger siblings, though Will's only true companions are the dogs he's treasured since boyhood. When aristocratic London is plagued with a series of dognappings, Will's brothers are convinced that he's the only person who can save the stolen canines from an awful fate.
But the lady's choice...
Shy, bookish Lady Susannah Haddonfield has no patience with loud, smelly beasts of any species, but must appear to like dogs so as not to offend her sister's only marital prospect. Susannah turns to Will, an acquaintance from her most awkward adolescent years, to teach her how to impersonate a dog fancier. Will has long admired Susannah, though he lacks the means to offer for her, and yet as they work together to rescue the purloined pets, it's loyal, dashing Will who steals Susannah's heart.
Will has a gift with training dogs. He tries to train his unruly brothers the same way, and much to his disappointment, it doesn't work as well. He has come to town to keep an eye on the younger brothers and encourage his older titled brother to find a wife. Lady Susannah is in town for the express purpose of her sister Della's success in attracting a husband. When the ladies and a suitor are offended by a dog on a walk, the suitor is put out that Susannah wasn't much help so she turns to childhood acquaintance Will for help. As they spend time together they both begin to remember how much they liked each other. Will became her champion during her first season when mean girls were trying to put her out of competition. When the dogs are kidnapped, Susannah is convinced that only Will can find them and claim the reward to help them get a start in their life together. Absolutely loved Will and his love and loyalty not only to his brothers, but to his dogs as well. Despite his love for Susannah he was unsure of his ability to care for her in the style she deserves, but is willing to figure it out. Can't wait for Della and Will's brothers' stories.
