The introduction was not what he expected - Merry Pelford was betrothed to his twin brother! In a couple of words…Absolutely delightful! I loved the whole premise of twins - one the good one and the other somewhat of a sleaze. After many minutes of discussion with this unusually intelligent and attractive woman, Trent who never smiled had quite enjoyed their discussion and certain he must be introduced officially to her. Aghast that a woman would just simply approach him the Duke of Trent was anything but friendly, but alas Merry was not impeded by his brusque mood. Naturally, Merry being American and not your normal gently bred unassuming London debutante, tapped him on the shoulder to discover if there were anything she might do to help. Before too long a gentleman came bursting out to the balcony, clearly upset and hadn’t noticed Merry standing alone in the shadows. Merry needed air and pulled herself out to a balcony to reassess what had just happened - she was now betrothed. Lord Cedric Allardyce the younger brother of a duke has quickly zeroed in on Merry and after a short -one month - courtship promptly proposed at a ball then disappeared to the card room. After two broken betrothals Miss Merry Pelford, an American Heiress has come abroad with her aunt and uncle as a last chance to marry Merry off to an English gentleman.
