Someone to Honor

Summary

First appearances deceive in the newest charming and heartwarming Regency romance in the Westcott series from beloved New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.

Abigail Westcott’s dreams for her future were lost when her father died and she discovered her parents were not legally married. But now, six years later, she enjoys the independence a life without expectation provides a wealthy single woman. Indeed, she’s grown confident enough to scold the careless servant chopping wood outside without his shirt on in the proximity of ladies.

But the man is not a servant. He is Gilbert Bennington, the lieutenant colonel who has escorted home her wounded brother, Harry. The men have returned from the wars with Napoleon, and Gil has come to help his friend and junior officer recover. Sensitive to his humble origins, Gil doesn’t take being condescended to lightly.

If initially Gil and Abigail each seem to embody what the other most despises, they will soon discover how wrong first impressions can be. For behind the appearances of the once-grand lady and the once-humble man are two people who share an understanding of what true honor means, and how only with it can one find love.
