It will be a secret they will take to their graves.After burying him in a forest, they come across a gentleman who has been beaten and left for dead. And this gentleman happens to look exactly like her husband. Seeing this as the answer to their prayers, they take him home in hopes he'll agree to be the new Duke of Watkins. There's only one problem. When he wakes up, he doesn't remember who he is. Dare they replace her husband with a counterfeit? And if they do, what consequences will come as a result of their lie?
