George
Sinclair loved India but when his brother’s wife gave birth to a fourth
daughter, Sebastian, the earl, demanded his brother return to England as his
heir. And he wanted George to marry. Any respectable woman would do, but not
“The Widow”, Elinor, Lady Haywood. She’s been widowed five times and with no
children to show for it. She is a distraction George very much wants in his bed,
but what he needs is a wife from a good family. What Lady Haywood wants is a
child and her next husband.
The
story is well told with rich emotion and some great characters, even a villain
in Elinor’s brother. No real history here except the references to India and
trade, which George was once engaged in. But it’s a delightful story of the tug
of war between George and his staid brother, the earl, that will draw you in. And
there is a side story of the earl and his wife, who befriends Elinor. I
recommend it.
