Mary Bennet hides her grief behind a bland exterior, she had loved and lost, and has determined to remain single. She is delighted to have found a friend in her new brother Darcy's cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. What happens when he feels something more for the girl who is in love with a dead man? **My first fanfic - let me know what I can do better!

Colonel Fitzwilliam and Kitty Bennet find themselves obliged to marry on little acquaintance. Kitty had wished to marry for love, the Colonel has declared himself unromantic. Can they have a happy marriage? Thanks for the comments - I have given the Colonel a first name now so people will not be so confused.
