Maid of Honor (Heartsong Presents #303)

Regency England was a time of pleasure seeking for the upper classes. Damion, the Marquess of Provost fell into the profligate ways of his society after returning from the war in which he lost the ideals and faith of his youth. All that is left is cynicism and his image of his ideal wife, a wife he does not truly expect to find in London. A riding accident left Catherine unable minister in northern England with her Preacher father. She is not sure what to expect when he sends her to live with her great Aunt Sofia. But Catherine finds a welcome with her aunt whose limitations keeps her from realizing the run-down condition of the estate. Catherine blames it on the absence of her distant cousin, Damion, and does what she can to alleviate the situation. But she can only do so much... Bored with the fast life of the ton, the Marquess returns to his country estate with some of his fast friends, only to discover a vulnerable, yet fiery and opinionated, young woman established as his mother's companion. His glimpse of her purity, innocence and faith as well as their fiery encounters makes him question not only the behavior of his friends, but also his own. Most of all, he begins to question his standards for his ideal wife.
