At first, all he wanted was her forgiveness. Now, he wants her to be his countess.

He insulted her before he had even met her. It was not purposefully done, of course, but it was done nonetheless. Now, after spending a great deal of time trying to make amends for his words, Lord Rycroft has done it again. But was he truly supposed to be pleased about being required to escort his mother and her latest matchmaking project from soiree to soiree during the season? He thought not.

For her part, Mary Bennet is not eager to spend the season with the likes of Lord Rycroft. His mother, she adores. Him, she scolds and attempts to tolerate. However, despite Lord Rycroft's exceptional talent for insulting her, Mary plans to have a grand season and finish it with either a husband or a wonderful tale to tell. She must only ignore him and focus her attention on presenting herself to best advantage to any gentleman she meets.

While Mary tries to avoid him, Lord Rycroft works diligently to make amends for his words. In the process, he unwittingly loses his heart to her, and what began as an arduous task of enduring the season becomes a quest to earn her acceptance, even if it means giving her no other choice.
