Lady Farnsworth’s Second Chance at Love

She is attracted to one of her daughter’s suitors!

Lady Amelia Farnsworth cannot believe she is attracted to the baron she considered for her daughter’s hand. After Persephone married her duke, Lord Yarmouth has called on Amelia twice weekly whenever he is in town. A rumored rake, the younger widower with three sons has become a friend. Amelia enjoys his company and wonders if she is simply lonely, or has she fallen for the baron? She feels alive. Wanted. Needed. Dare she hope for love?

A widowed rake with a deathbed vow…

Lord Yarmouth is a widowed, reformed rake living at his country estate with his three rapscallion sons. He has yet to honor his deathbed promise to his dying wife to remarry. Their sons are high spirited and in need of a mother. He travels to London to find a wife and is enchanted by the mother of a woman he is to meet with an eye toward marriage. Sparks fly, and he is intrigued by the older widow. The more time he spends in Amelia’s company, the deeper his feelings for her. But he has his sons to consider. He invites her to his home to meet them and is unexpectedly surprised by her obvious enjoyment in the boys.

He agrees when his sons suggest inviting Amelia to attend the Midwinter Festival. Their journey is fraught with accidents once they are on the road north. A broken wheel, and the leather traces that snap, have him wondering if they are destined to miss the festival and remain as friends. He should have confessed his true feelings for her instead of journeying to Northumbria in the middle of winter. Is he a fool to cater to his sons’ whims  and their imagination believing in a legend, or should he have trusted his own mind and heart?
