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.”

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 . . .
