My review for this short story somehow disappeared, so I'm writing a new one a few weeks and books after reading it.. I remember that I liked the story and the two heroes' relationship both at first and later when it turns romantic.
Amelia is the good girl who always does what her mother wants her to do in a vain effort to please her. Thad is her late brother's best friend and someone her mother accuses for his death. The two keep a letter correspondence for years before having to stop because of Amelia's engagement. After she cries off of her engagement, Amelia finds herself more desperate than ever to please her mother, so she makes a list of eligible titled (because of course her mother pushes for a title) gentlemen that are in the running for her next attempt at marriage. All of them are old enough to be her parents/grandparents and she's resigned to never finding out the truth about what the real secrets of a marriage night are, that so frightened her before, causing her to cry off in the first place. In a last attempt to uncover those secrets before resigning to her fate and marrying an old relic and becoming a martyr, she begs for her friend Thad's help.
To make a long story short, Thad's determination to not really give in to her request is weakening and the two fall in love.
Enjoyable story, like the previous book in the series.
