Lady Mary had a skill at making matches for her friends...until her choices proved disastrous. Now the one man she wants for herself has come home from the wars and she'd like to claim him for herself. But Lord Bridges cannot take a wife. He has too many responsibilities and too many aspirations that cannot include the devotion he'd like to lavish on Mary. Can he find a way to keep his career and his commitments to his estate—and enjoy the charms of marrying the woman he loves? And how difficult can that be for Mary whose mischievous past might ruin their hope of happiness? Previously published in the anthology, A May Day to Remember
