About the book
Her perfect partner in the waltz of love... — A DIPLOMAT'S DAUGHTER — From the moment Melody Harriman was declared a bore by the snobbish dandies at Almack's, the Season was a torture. Until she met Lord Stoneforth, whose humble manner touched Melody. If only Lord Stoneforth's younger brother Tobias hadn't already declared his undying love for her!
Adam Gregory Attenbury, Viscount Stoneforth, wondered if all of England had gone mad. Having lived longer in the midst of war than in Society, the former colonel was puzzled by the exceedingly odd behavior of the ton. Only one lovely young lady at Almack's appeared the sort of woman who might wed a man made more for the comforts of home than the silly rules of the beau monde. But as fate would have it, his brother had discovered this priceless jewel first. True love seemed doomed -- until Melody's beautiful cousins, the Lange triplets, conspired to bring together two destined hearts....
