The Most Deserving Duke

Arthur Mason, Kate Mason's father, a magnate from New York, brings his daughter to England so she can find an aristocratic husband who would help him enter the rapidly developing railway market of Great Britain. Kate grew up alongside her grandfather, who was a self-taught engineer and passed on engineering knowledge to his granddaughter.

At her first ball in London, Kate meets a man who catches her attention. How surprised she was when he turns out to be the owner of the estate they are visiting to receive the protection of the dowager Duchess of Maberry, his mother. From rare conversations with the duke, Kate learns that he does not intend to marry; a past tragedy keeps him from continuing his lineage. However, seeing that Kate has accepted the attentions of the duke's neighbor, Sigreyv, Duke Maberry understands that he cannot refuse the opportunity to be close to Kate...
