The Merry Marquis: A Sweet Regency Romance (Merry Men Quartet Book 2)

It is only at the pianoforte with beautiful music flowing from her fingertips that Teresa Seton is happy. New to English society, she feels awkward and unsure of herself.
Only the attentions of her handsome neighbor can convince her that she is where she belongs—a stolen kiss proves that he means what he says. But the kiss is witnessed and the pair are forced to marry for propriety’s sake.

Once known as the “Merry Marquis”, Richard, the Marquis of Merrick, now lives the life of a recluse. Finding a beautiful stranger at his pianoforte strikes a chord within him, bringing back feelings he thought were lost with the passing of his wife. He is mesmerized by Teresa and her beautiful music, but can he convince her, and himself, that he can live and love again?

"...an enjoyable, heart-stirring read about doing what's noble and right—i.e., Richard's offer of marriage after he and Teresa are caught in a compromising situation—and rediscovering love after even the greatest of losses. Be sure to pick up a copy of Meredith Bond's latest. " RT Reviews
