The Second Time Around
by Ella Quinn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for an excerpt:
The day after Richard had been told Pae was ill, he was in
the reading room at Brook’s having coffee and waiting until he could try to see
her again. All he’d been able to think about was her boast that she never took
a chill, and now she was sick.
If she was not better today, he would send for some fruit
from his succession houses. They would be much better quality than what one
could procure in London.
Another gentleman entered the room, drawing a chair up next
to his.
“What is my stepmother to you?”
He glanced at Lord Worthington’s stern face and carefully
folded the paper, placing it on the low table next to him. “Why do you wish to
know?”
“Because she has been asking for you. She’s running a
fever.”
Richard stared at the younger man for what seemed like eons
before he finally understood. “I’ll come straightaway.”
As he started to rise Worthington’s hand clamped down on
Richard’s arm. “I’ll ask you again, what is she to you?”
He looked straight into the other man’s eyes. “The only
woman I have ever loved.”
Worthington gave a terse nod. “I was afraid it was something
like that.” He released Richard’s arm. “My carriage is outside.”
