Molly Merriwether readily accepts an invitation to Waverly Hall, eager for adventure and amusement with her best friend. She never expected to be left unchaperoned with three intriguing young gentlemen for weeks.
Roger Bailey, recuperating in more ways than one, avoids Molly until her kindness and humor tempt him to deepen their acquaintance.
Molly lands in one unlikely escapade after the next with Roger and soon considers him a friend—perhaps more—but the barriers he puts up make it impossible to truly know him. Has she only imagined those tender looks in his eyes?
For a chance at love, Molly will need to bare her innermost self and trust someone more deeply than she’s ever dreamed possible.
Blurb
Molly finished her tea and turned to Caroline. “Perhaps we should take some time to discuss our options. Alone.”
“Yes, I think we’d better,” Caroline said, setting her cup down.
Benedict rose. “We’ll step out so you can talk.”
Fred settled deeper into his chair as if hoping not to be noticed, but after a sharp look from Benedict stood and followed him out of the room. Mr. Bailey took Penny by the collar and left, closing the door behind him.
As soon as it clicked shut, Molly replenished their teacups. “Would you ever have dreamed we’d find ourselves in such a pickle?”
“Absolutely not. I imagine this means we need to leave.” Caroline sighed a sigh that sounded like it had been waiting years to get out.
Molly lifted one shoulder. “I don’t know…we’re already here and, as Fred said, it isn’t as though we’re alone in the house.”
“I’ve the feeling Fred would say anything to get us to stay. He seems the type of man to enjoy bending the rules.”
“I have the same feeling.” After glancing at the door, Molly whispered, “What do you think of Benedict?”
Caroline shifted on the sofa so she was facing Molly. “It’s too soon to say.”
“Do you think we should move to the inn?” Molly held her breath as she awaited Caroline’s answer.
AUTHOR
Kate grew up in a woodsy New England town where summer days at the lake seemed to last forever. She read her first historical romance at age eleven when a teacher challenged her to find a book in the library written by an author she’d never heard of. Thus began a life-long love of love stories.
After graduating from college she settled in the Pacific Northwest, where she currently resides with her family.
Kate wrote her first romance when she was sixteen, then set her pen down for years until another story floated into her head out of the clear blue sky. She jotted it down, just for fun, but soon it took on a life of its own.
