author: Rigel, L.K.
description: During a stay at Hunsford Parsonage, Mary Bennet meets a handsome ~ and rather brash ~ young officer visiting Rosings Park ~ Major Carleton Quartermaine.
  
  Carley's charming attentiveness and love of music put Mary so much at ease that when they sing a duet together she hits every note perfectly. With Carley she blossoms in a way she never expected.
  But when Mary overhears a disturbing conversation between the handsome officer and Caroline Bingley, she must face reality and close off her feelings for the rake ~ or risk breaking her heart.
