Kit marries Anthea Faifax, daughter of an earl turned privateer by proxy.
When he is severely wounded at the battle of Toulouse he can only go home after more than 6 months of marrying an unknown girl.
Anthea Fairfax is unfashionably tall, rides her horses like the very Devil and knows how to run her estates. She would have caught a duke if it had not been for her fatal passion for her neighbor's son Jeffrey. After a disastrous wedding night with her first old husband her reputation is gone to tatters. Her cousin, the new earl after her father's death, sells her off to the highest bidder: Kit Andover, war-hero and womanizer.
Read in this part 1 of a Mercenary Major how the nuptials come about...
