Man of Honour

Eliot saw his duty -- and married Laura. What else could a gentleman do when they had been snowbound together at an inn -- unchaperoned? The fact that Laura was beautiful, gentle, and completely suitable as a wife made his behaving as a man of honour very easy.

But Laura was not satisfied with such a meager basis for marriage. And the once-docile young bride soon began a rebellion that had all the ton agog -- and her husband forgetting about honour and listening instead to his heart.
