This is the love story of Regina, the Marquess of Gresham's sister (The Marquess being one of the Seven Corinthians from Patricia Oliver's series). This story was a little difficult for me to swallow. They marry under duress, when the Colonel's philandering brother causes the Lady to get herself into a compromising position. He then goes off to war, and she goes home. Apparently, absence makes the heart grow fonder, as she begins to miss her husband, as tales of the horror of the war begin to make it back to the public. When they get together again, they begin to heal their relationship somewhat, but Regina hasn't forgiven her father for forcing their marriage. When the father falls deathly ill, her husband insists she visit him, and during that stay, she experiences some tenderness and passion from her husband who she previously believed incapable of such emotions. Their marriage however remains unconsummated after 6 months, and she is mortified when her father begins to badger her about a grandchild. The Colonel and his wife return to their home, but a misunderstanding causes her to flee to her father's house again, where she pours out her marital problems to her brothers. The
Colonel pursues, and the Marquess and the Colonel engage in hand to hand combat. Both are badly bruised and as Regina nurses her husband's wounds, they finally clear up their misunderstandings.
