A disastrous declaration. A broken heart. Can they get it right the second time?

Courageous or foolish? Marian Wakefield hadn’t thought herself either, but when she confessed her love to her closest friend, Marian discovered she had a hearty helping of both. And a broken heart to boot.

No man shall ever secure her affection as he had, but with spinsterhood looming, her father gives her a choice—find herself a husband or he will do it for her. Must Marian settle for a marriage of convenience? Why does fate hate her so?

Blind or foolish? George Finch hadn’t thought himself either, but when his dear Marian revealed her undying love to him, George’s wits failed him. And then doubly so when he married another lady, possessed of beauty, grace, and poise and little else. A marriage based on attraction and without friendship was bound to fail, and in the years since Marian’s heartfelt declaration, he’s had ample time to realize his mistake.

Now widowed, fate has granted George a second chance to win his friend’s heart before her father’s ultimatum forces her to bind herself to another.

But how can he when Marian won’t even speak to him

Excellent!

Another wonderful book from Ms. Nichols I love the characters and the insights she brings to the story, and how she effortlessly weaves the characters from previous stories into the next one. Such a wonderful way to spend spare time, with another engrossing and lovely book!

Meh!

Slow and tedious, though the story is interesting enough. I found myself skipping through long-winded passages to get on with the story.Give it a go….

Boring...

I have read all the books the author has written so far, and I loved all of them. They are well written, witty and romantic, some of them thrilling.However, this book is different...I am sorry to say, it felt as if nothing happened but lots and lots of talking. I had to force myself to finish reading, but I cannot say I enjoyed it.

Great book!

I have o day that I thoroughly enjoy all of the books written by M.A. Nichols! I love that the books carry on through different generations of families! She has a way of pulling you into the story and feeling the emotions. I knew there would be happy ending for George and Marian and yet I still found myself in the edge and worrying they might not work out their differences! The happiness I felt when they did was real! I highly recommend the who!e series!

Sigh! Binge read this. I had too.

Like all your books, this was such a tender and sweet read. It was good to be removed from the ton and traditional stories revolving around the London social scenes of 18th century England. It was a more in line with Jane Austin to depict the lives of the gentry in the English country sides. I love stories that give more weight to character and wit than to beauty and wealth. And the beauty found when loving someone is so heart warming, is a winning detail for me. My only criticism is not seeing Evelyn have her own victory. .........maybe that is another book.....hint, hint!
