Publisher Description
For two years following the death of her beloved husband, Eugenia, the Dowager Duchess of Kendal has grieved and kept to herself. Her cousin is hosting a house party and has persuaded Genie to attend—it’s the perfect opportunity to emerge from mourning. Genie is looking forward to seeing old friends but is shocked when she learns the true purpose of the occasion: to match widowed ladies with widowed and unmarried gentlemen.
Once infatuated with a young Eugenia Aldwick, Edmund Holt, Earl of Satterfield is thrilled when Genie arrives at the matchmaking house party. Mutual attraction sparks between them immediately, however he is in need of a wife who can provide an heir and she is unable to do so. Genie would also dearly love to be a mother after losing her daughter several years before. Can they embrace a second chance at love or will the demands of his title and the pull of her maternal heart prove too strong to ignore?
This book is also the prequel to The Untouchables series!
Customer Reviews
Riveting Second Chance Romance!
On attending the first house party since her husband’s death two years previous, Genie is dismayed to realise that her cousin has arranged it with matchmaking purposes. All the women are widows and the men either widowers or never married; her hostess has even provided guests with a map of whom is in each bedroom! If it were not for the washed away road, Genie would have immediately returned home.
The Earl of Satterfield on the other hand attends the party with the hope of finding a wife and is overjoyed to see Genie, who he was strongly attracted to when she had her first Season. He makes every attempt to get close to her, however in addition to her disinclination to remarry, his duty is to begat an heir and Genie’s child producing years are behind her. Thoroughly enjoyable story which sets the scene for the introduction of Titus, the first of The Untouchables.
