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. If at first Gil and Abigail seem to embody what the other most despises, each will soon discover how wrong first impressions can be. Gil has come to help his friend and junior officer recover, and he doesn't take lightly to being condescended to-secretly because of his own humble beginnings. He is Gilbert Bennington, the lieutenant colonel and superior officer who has escorted her wounded brother, Harry, home from the wars with Napoleon. Indeed, she's grown confident enough to scold the careless servant chopping wood outside without his shirt on in the proximity of ladies. SOMEONE TO HONOR Lieutenant Colonel Gil Bennington has accompanied his friend, Major Harry Westcott, home to England from Paris and has agreed to stay with him for a while as Harry continues his long recovery from wounds sustained during the Napoleonic wars. But now, six years later, she enjoys the independence a life without expectation provides a wealthy single woman. Abigail Westcott's dreams for her future were lost when her father died and she discovered her parents were not legally married. First appearances deceive in the newest charming and heartwarming Regency romance in the Westcott series from beloved New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.
