Honoria and Marcus have known each other since they were children. They were friends, well, as much as one can be a friend to your brothers BFF. Daniel (the brother) got himself into trouble, and he made Marcus promise to keep an eye on Honoria (in translation: scare off any suitor imaginable, and then some XD).

Honoria is on the other hand quite desperate to find a husband, so she and her cousins plan a party, invite some eligeable gentlemen and hope to snare one Photobucket

Marcus interrupts Honoria in her devious plot (she dag a hole in the ground to feign a fall and ankle injury), end ends up hurt himself Photobucket that leads to an ankle injury and later infection, during which non other than Honoria tends to him.

Marcus is not the typical Regency hero, he's not a rake or a rogue, he's an ordinary gentleman that doesn't understand women and somehow always tends to say the wrong thing Photobucket During his illness he realizes he's fallen in love with Honoria, but has absolutely no idea what to do with that, how to seduce her. He was so adorable, I just loved him!

Honoria is from a big family, the youngest daughter that everyone avoided. She was always somehow connected to Marcus, they knew each other for a long time, and were good friends. After the accident, when she takes care of him, she realizes she's in love
