Henrietta is the youngest child and only daughter of the Duke of Castborough. She knows the rules and abides by them, though she manages to be strong in her opinions. Supportive of her five older brothers, she loves her family dearly. She has had a hand in helping her brothers find love, but has yet to find the man who makes her heart sing. Major Patrick Wainwright is home from India to attend to business. He enjoys a bit of the social scene while he's home, if for no other reason than to avoid his brother and his father. As a long time friend of the Repington family, he spends time with the brothers around London. Henrietta and Patrick end up at the same dinners and balls while he is home. Their paths cross often. Is something happening between them that even they don't realize? Are they more suited for each other than they know?
