BLURB:
Can a beautiful
Worthington widow find love again? Depends on who’s asking . . .
Before he died,
Patience was the Earl of Worthington’s second wife. So why shouldn’t Patience
be allowed a second chance at marriage, too? Of course, finding a new husband
was not something the mother of four had ever planned on. But a surprise
encounter with her first love has suddenly made the impossible seem possible all
over again . . .
It seems like a
lifetime ago that Richard, Viscount Wolverton, was halfway around the world,
looking for adventure . . . while Patience, at her coming-out, was left with no
choice but to take old Worthington’s hand. Richard never forgot the woman whose
heart he yearned for—and now that he’s back, he’s not going to let her slip
away again . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
Patience gasped. Not loudly, she was much too self-contained
to draw attention to herself. But Richard could feel her pulse jump, and he was
pleased that he still had the ability to shake her calm, to make her react to
him. He wondered if her old husband had been able to command her attention in
the same way. The corners of his lips twitched. Probably not. Whether she knew
it or not, she was his and always had been.
If only he hadn’t been such an idiot. Who forgets the year
of his beloved’s come out? A young man who had traveled halfway across the
world looking for adventure, that was who. By the time he had returned home, it
was just days before her marriage to Lord Worthington. He had argued with her
father to be able to see her, but it was as if her parents had locked her in
the house. When they’d traveled to Town for the wedding, he had followed.
However, his pains had been to no avail. Neither her mother nor father was going
to let him ruin their plans for Pae. After all, an earl outranked the heir to a
viscount. There was also the scandal that would ensue if she broke the
betrothal just days before the nuptials. He would not have cared, but he was
the only one. Even his parents would have been appalled if Pae jilted
Worthington for Richard.
Too late. That is what everyone had told him. But he wasn’t
too late now.
