Second Chance Marquess
by Jessica Jefferson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
Wilhemina Turner’s younger sister runs off with a young Lothario, she has no
choice but to turn to the notorious rake who broke his promise and her heart,
for assistance. George Bartlett, the Marquess of Chesterton, hasn’t forgotten
the woman who hurt him so many years ago, but can’t deny her request, knowing
that his brother’s reputation, and fortune, is at risk. A series of misfortunes
leave the straight-laced widow and committed bachelor stranded, sharing both
close quarters and old secrets. But when morning comes, will this unlikely pair
find a second chance at love?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“Are
you accusing Kitty of going after your brother for his money?”
“She
wouldn’t be the first.”
Willie
set her jaw firmly, just as she always had when she was angry. “A decade later
and you’re still following your father’s example. You still think the worst of
women, don’t you?”
“I’m
simply waiting to be proven wrong.”
“You
were,” she said quietly, almost too low for him to hear.
“Once,
Willie, and even that’s debatable. Every woman after you has fulfilled my
lowest expectations.”
She
looked away, a pale blush spread across the creamy pale skin of her chest.
“Mrs. Turner,” she reminded him, facing him once again. “Kitty’s not like that.
She doesn’t need his money.”
“Both
your parents are gone and last time I knew, you hadn’t a penny to your name.
How can she not need my brother’s money?”
“Because
I make sure she’s taken care of. I’d do anything for that girl, no matter how
silly or naïve she is. She’s still mine to take care of.” She jutted her chin
proudly, just as she always had. George had to remind himself that this was no
longer the stubborn, hopeful young woman he once knew, but a strong,
experienced widow standing before him.
“Mr.
Turner left you comfortable then?”
“My
finances are none of your concern. We are doing quite well considering our
circumstance.”
He
found that hard to believe. “Beg your pardon, Mrs. Turner, but a vicar and a
viscount are two very different things. Now, if you don’t mind, I’ll need to
get on the road soon. I heard mention that there might be a great deal of rain
coming, possibly snow, and I doubt the weather will hold off much longer.” He
turned his back to her and continued gathering the necessary items from around
the study.
“I
can’t allow you to go by yourself,” Wilhelmina protested, ignoring his less
than subtle hint that their discussion had ended. “There’s no way I could
possibly trust you to address this situation fairly after the unwarranted
judgement you’ve already made regarding Kitty’s character.”
“It’s
only unwarranted if it’s not true and that remains to be seen, now doesn’t it?”
“I
won’t let you do it, George.”
The
use of his given name stopped him cold. He took a deep breath, then turned to
her, arms folded across his chest. “What exactly do you propose I do then, Mrs.
Turner?”
“Take
me with you.”
