Now, a few years later, she attends the funeral of her elderly husband (not the man she ran away to marry) and who does she see but The One Who Got Away!
Can they make their love work this time around or will Genevieve be A Fool Again?
Erasmus Mulcaster was a tight-fisted miser who even dictated his funeral seed cakes from his deathbed, leaving behind a will that all but forces his young widow into matrimony. Installed in a handsome St. James’s Square town house, Genevieve thinks she has found the perfect civilized match in her late husband’s partner, Lucius Felton.
Instead, the newly minted widow finds herself pursued by two very different men. Tobias Darby has returned from India with a fortune in his pocket, an untamed grin, and every intention of making Genevieve his wife at last.
