Um? What to say.
We have Mary, who saved the boys when they were children when their uncle wanted to kill them for the title.
Then we have Sebastian, the eldest son and the true duke who spent the last 12 years as a soldier. He's cold and scared of how everyone percieves him but he needs to find a bride eventually because he has to pass the title on (Mary isn't an option for a bride, she is engaged).
We've got Fitzwilliam, Mary's fiance.
Fitzwilliam is extremely controlling, telling her she can't be with the Easton men and she is extremely meek and bending when it comes to him, except she refuses to stop seeing Sebastian? She should've just dropped her betrothal and gone to him. Pathetic maybe, but in a way I don't like.
Did not feel like there was any tension between the two. Clearly Heath was very inspired by Richard III who killed his nephews but not in any way I found fun or unique. The villain felt too cartoonish and then it wrapped up way too quickly and easily?
Certainly not my most favorite Lorraine Heath.
