A Duke and an Heiress in Newport Society
A titled duke of Carltonvale and the heiress he pursues clash with the social machinery of wealth and status. Ward Danes, the impoverished lover, confides in Darronvale about a failing railroad scheme that could fund his engagement, while the heiress condemns nobles who buy love with titles. The two men bond over shared troubles and a plan to secure money, risking further entanglement in high society.
