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 . . .

REVIEW
This is a nice novella that features Patience and Richard. They were young lovers but when Richard went off to explore the world Patience married an older man. Now she is free but is she really. It was fun to watch Richard discover what he was up against with Patience. Times and laws were different then and Patience faces a choice between Richard and her children. This will stand alone but I think it would be better if you had read the previous Worthingtons books. Be sure to read the authors notes about the rights of women in Regency times at the back of the book. It is an eye opener.

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.
