Some marriages never stood a chance. The fairytale didn’t come true. All the assumptions and beliefs that are brought into a marriage can lead to its demise, while clouding the perception of what is true and fair. Then there is a former wife to deal with, a thorn in the side that won’t relent. It is during the tests that true strength emerges.
This boxset contains three full length Second Chance Marriage novels.
An Absent Wife
The desertion of his wife came as a complete surprise to Lord Lysander Warburton, even as he readily admits he never excelled as a husband. Running off with a lowly lieutenant was in line with her consistent talent for being disagreeable. Never more so when he learns her supposed demise from cholera turns out not to be true. Unfortunately there is no choice but to retrieve his troublesome and wayward wife.
The Discarded Wife
Victorian London is a cruel place for a divorcee, but with the death of Sophie Duthie’s beloved second husband, she is now a widow, and independent for the first time in her life. She might not have much in terms of means, but with the help of her music shop, she can support herself and her son, Alfie. Even though her second marriage was happy, Sophie is done with husbands. Her first marriage taught her well that fairy tales are nothing more than illusions.
To Lord Aberley, his former wife is nothing but a scheming pariah, and unfortunately, his subsequent engagement wasn’t successful—not that he’s ever had much delusions about marriage. It is something he now wishes to avoid at all costs, but he needs an heir. It is the one duty he cannot overlook, so learning that his former wife’s son is six years old, creates serious doubt about his true parentage. Seeing the child only confirms it. Alfie Duthie is his child.
The Nuisance Wife
Caius Hennington, now Lord Warwick, has spent years in the Far East serving the Queen’s interests, until his uncle’s death draws him home to claim his estate and title. Returning to English shores involves the task that had driven him to leave in the first place, dealing with the untrue wife he’d discarded. A divorce would not be a pleasant affair, but distractions would no longer serve.
To Eliza Hennington, her marriage had been unhappy until devastating accusations had destroyed it. To build a new life for herself, she’d built a business supplying educational material to charity schools, a business now under threat from a protracted and public divorce. Her business would likely not survive the impending storm.
Heat level: There is some heat.
