Summary
Quen felt peculiar up on the dais, flanked by stags and lions and wolves.
The Usurper had once been a formidable man, with blazing eyes and a massive war hammer. Now, he was just a red-faced fat man, a pathetic drunk who ate as gracefully as a half-starved hog.
His Queen seemed to be a perpetually unhappy woman. Cersei Lannister was as beautiful as the singers said, though the woman had all the warmth of a dead fish.
She might have done well in the north, Quen thought, almost pitying.
(Or: The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.)

Summary
Anthony Bridgerton has decided it is finally his time to find a suitable wife. At his age, his father had already been married to the love of his life for nearly a decade and had six children. These were impossible shoes to fill considering he doesn't even think he'll make it to 38.
Charlotte Nephus has been living with her aunt Maryam in Greece for majority of her life. Now at twenty years old, her parents have decided she is well past the age of making her debut into society. She is headstrong, stubborn, loud mouthed, and competitive. In other words, she is everything a proper lady should not be and the opposite of what Anthony is looking for.
As soon as the first ball is over, Anthony realizes the women of the Ton are a far cry from the perfect wife but with his mother loudly announcing his intent to marry, he is forced to participate in the season's activities even if his interest is slowly dwindling. Charlotte is also forced to play along despite having every intention of being on the first boat sailing out of London at the end of the summer.
What will happen when their paths cross? Will Anthony see that there is more to marriage than duty? Will Charlotte decide to stay after all?

Down Orion comes from the sky.

“Why does a high class girl like you walk around with a bottle in her pocket with enough snow to fix a horse for three races?”
She looked back at him. His shell-shocked eyes. “Money can’t buy you a ticket out of tragedy.”
“Won’t know until I try, will I?” There was almost a note of something in his voice. Regret, sadness. Almost.
She nodded. “You won’t know until you try.”
