Did anyone else notice that in a couple of places Lavinia is referred to as Nathaniel's niece rather than as his cousin? Obvious mistakes like that should not happen with a writer of Mary Balogh's caliber. It throws me out of the story to run across errors like that.

I did notice a discrepancy from Book 2 “Unforgiven” regarding Nat’s sisters. Balogh writes
“ ‘I suspect,” he said, grimacing, “that my father’s indisposition arises as much as anything from the fact that he has five daughters yet to marry and a niece who has been growing mutinous.’ ”

In Book 3, it states:
“She too (referring to Nat’s eldest married sister) was coming to London with her husband with the express purpose of sponsoring and chaperoning her second youngest sister and her cousin, the only two remaining unmarried females in the family. There had been six of them, counting Lavinia. Two of them had been married before Nathaniel returned home two years before...”

If I have understood it correctly, that is an editing mistake. (less)
