This is the 4th volume in the Wicked Husbands serial. I haven't read whatsoever of the previous titles, but I did discover that this worked well every bit a stand-alone read. It is set in 1880/81.
It starts with a prologue where American heiress Georgiana and impoverished Kit, Duke of Leeds take merely married. But it is a marriage of convenience. Kit needs her dowry and Georgiana's father wants into the aristocracy. Kit is leaving the state straight subsequently the ceremony, supposedly on a hunting expedition.

The doctor's treatment does not seem to exist helping, so Georgiana summons the vet instead. She wants him better before she plans to demand a divorce.

Warning there is very potent explicit linguistic communication throughout this book, plus steamy sex scenes.
