Book 2 in the Series of "Merry Men Quartet"
Two people make their awkward way through Society, the "ton". Richard, the Marquis of Merrick is still grief stricken after the death of his wife and shy Teresa Seton, who is new to society, is uncomfortable with attention . The only time Teresa really seems to shine is when she is playing the pianoforte, something that Richard overhears and draws peace from. When Teresa is compromised by a kiss with Richard, they must marry and are now thrust into the very society neither really wants.
I found this story was okay, but really had a hard time with Teresa's mother. Really didn't like her a whole lot. She constantly sabotaged her daughter and in although Teresa knows this, she confides something personal to her mother, that could be used to hurt her. Right after her mother tried to seduce Richard. Sorry, that I had a hard time believing. The rest of the story is about the two people who are really strangers, trying to form a life. They begin to become friends but they are soon fighting the attraction to make their marriage real. Richard is also busy fighting the guilt because he is drawn to Teresa and feels this is disloyal to the memory of his dead wife and even feels guilty if he has fun.
