Preview The Wistful Widow
Lady Katherine, the countess of Cressington, has just become a widow at the age of one and twenty. Her marriage to the aging Earl of Cressington, just after her seventeenth birthday, was arranged by her father, in the hope of producing an heir for the Earl. Sadly, their son died before he reached two. The Earl followed less than two years later. Not wishing to see the new Earl of Cressington, Kate moves out of Cressington Towers to mourn the man she never really knew, and to wonder what her life would have been like if she had married the man she loved. The man who had used her, who said he did not want to marry her and left her to her fate. Once out of mourning, Kate wants to find a young man to marry and raise a family with, and that means avoiding the new Earl at all costs. Thomas Chambers, the young blond, angelic-looking Eighth Earl of Cressington, has spent the past five years avoiding the flame-haired Countess of Cressington. She was his first love. His only love. The one he still loved, even though he should despise her for marrying his great uncle for his title instead of waiting for him to finish university. As he wanders the galleries of Cressington Towers, his new home, he finds himself drawn to the large portrait of the red-headed Countess and her blond-haired babe on her knee. He needs to forget about her and move on. When they find themselves at the same house party, to celebrate the marriage of the Viscount and Viscountess of Montague, they soon discover that their animosity to each other was misplaced and the love they had denied for all those years bubbles to the surface. But will the secret that Kate has guarded so closely tear them apart so soon after they are reunited?
