A Symphony for the Earl - (The Merricks) by Patricia Wilson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Amid the chaos of a London Season, can a fiery Irish pianist and her overbearing guardian come to an understanding long enough to fall in love?

For two years, piano virtuoso Fiona Rafferty has waited for her father to return home from a sea voyage. But now Irish law declares him deceased and says she's an orphan at eighteen. The last thing she needs is an overbearing and arrogant English guardian, but she's packed off to London until she comes of age.

Richard Merrick, Earl of Seldon, doesn't need an outspoken ward who takes the ton by storm, plays Beethoven instead of minuets, and disregards him at every turn. Even more maddening is his growing attraction to the willful Miss Rafferty.

When a shocking indiscretion amid Mrs. Drummond-Burrell's prizewinning camellias forces them into the betrothal of the Season, neither can admit they're falling in love. And when they finally do, Fiona's past threatens to derail any hope of a wedding.
