This book could have been so much more if it had been just a little bit longer. There were several sub-plots that were started and hurridly resolved. Lily's dead husband was a crook and scammed other crooks. She discovered that after he died. As soon as she was able, she fled back to London from America. Her dead husband's creditors keep sending her letters and Lily keeps putting them in a pile, hoping they will go away. When the crooks shows up at her door and says he has her husband's son and demands fifty thousand pounds or he will go the papers, the boy just shows up several days later. Lily doesn't have the money, but poof, situation resolved. Did Lily pay him?
That both the Dukes never told her that the one chick was her frenemy? Come on Dukes! Clue your girl in earlier. When the frenemy suggests that the Dukes will not want Lily because of the boy and helps her run off to Paris, the Dukes find her. Again, poof, the whole situation with the little boy resolved.
