It is no secret as to how Simon Bassett, the Duke of Hastings, feels about his departed father. Not a secret in the slightest.

Even all these years after his 'happy ending', with his dear Daphne and the family they created, he is still finding ways to loathe the ass.

And he has never felt as much hatred than he does upon discovering the bastard his father sired a few years before his death. He paid for it to be kept a secret but, as most secrets will, it throws the Dukes life into chaos. A chaos he doesn't quite know how do handle.

How does one tame a girl of six and ten whom has no social training?
