The Bridal Quest (Matchmakers #2)

IRENE WATCHED HER mother as she moved gracefully through the steps of a country dance with her cousin Harville.

Sir Harville, whose party this was, was one of the few people with whom Lady Claire felt it was appropriate for a widow such as herself to dance.

He was also one of the few people who could always bring a smile to her mother’s face.

For those reasons, Irene always looked forward to Lady Spence’s birthday ball. And since Sir Harville, instead of his penny-pinching wife, arranged the ball, the affair was also beautifully decorated and offered a midnight supper that would tempt even the faintest of appetites.
