GENRE:
Historical Romance

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
Two:
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.
