Book request: I read this book a few years ago, but I think it was an older regency.The h's father is a diplomat, therefore she lived with her uncle. There was a Christmas Ball (I think) and she watched the dancing. Her cousin is beautiful and the H was in love with her, but as he was the younger son the cousin rejected him and married someone else. The H was a soldier. The h fell in love with the H.A few years later her father is still abroad and she runs her own estate. The H is now a marquess (I think) because his older brother and father died. He visits her and they argue about a piece of land. The cousin is now a widow with 2 children (boys I think) and asks the h to visit her in London for the season as a companion. The cousin is now after the H. The h's other cousin is horsemad and he and the h take care of the children (riding, visiting Astley's, tricks on horseback). The H's younger sister is in London too and she has a disability (I think its her legs?).I hope someone can help because I tried everything else I could think of.Thanks!!
