Home Is the Sailor  

The naval Battle of Copenhagen cost Captain Will Dormer and eye and a leg. The battle to establish himself as Viscount Claremont of Belford Park could cost him his life.

He feels completely at sea as the owner of the estate, but his father and two brothers managed to kill themselves in a drunken carriage accident. Along with an estate he had not seen since he was sent into the navy twenty years ago, he has inherited the cousin Frederick (who thinks he would make a better viscount), his brother's penniless widow (a beautiful nitwit), and her bitter mother. Feeling in dire need of help, he marries Maria Garland, the orphaned daughter of his naval mentor.

Maria needs a home, and Will is in want of a wife to help him in his new situation. She assumes he needs her to manage a bankrupt manor and is horrified to discover that it is in reality a magnificent estate. Neither one of them feels adequate to this new position, but they must learn quickly if they are to survive the attempts to undermine and even kill them.
