   Summary

   Lord Austin Finch has long been well-acquainted with the many realities of being the second son of the Marquess St. Helens. He's never had much of a choice in his life, so he shouldn't be surprised when his father arranges him to marry the Honourable Mr. Theodore Beaumont, even as his father and elder brother were both allowed the grace of marrying for love.

   He has no say in the matter; the marriage will happen.

   Whatever follows, though, is entirely his choice.
