A Highly-Rated Regency Romance
Reginald Aiken, Duke of
Warwick is dead and his young widow is not grieving… until the will is read.
Isobel Kennilworth Aiken,
Duchess of Warwick spent 6 years of her young life in a loveless
marriage. Now, at the age of 24, Isobel is a widow. As Isobel awaits the
reading of her late husband’s last will and testament, she feels no grief, but
in fact is quite hopeful. She is eager to start her life anew. But, as the
droning of the solicitor’s voice washes over her detailing the bequests to
various servants and family members, a shock awaits her. The "other
woman" was not his mistress, but his lawfully wedded wife and together
they had a son. Six year old Reggie is now the Duke of Warwick, displacing
Reginald’s brother Charles.
There is a collective gasp as
the revelation is made that instantly cuts off Isobel and Charles and dashes
their hopes for the future. Isobel must indeed start again, not as a titled,
influential and wealthy widow, but as plain Miss Kennilworth, tainted by
scandal, something to be avoided at all costs in Regency England. Can she get
past the disgrace and humiliation she has endured and fight her way back into
society? Will she find love again with her childhood sweetheart, Andrew
Stafford, former vicar, now Lord Saybrooke? Or perhaps she will rekindle the
romance with Jeremy Ingles, Lord Westcott, who had caught her fancy at her come
out six years earlier, but had not been ready to be leg shackled.
But before Isobel can find
true love, she must come to grips with her past mistakes and the people she has
hurt along the way. She must discover who she is without the title of duchess
to her name.
What readers are saying:
"This is a good story
with believable characters that one can actually stay involved with through the
entire book. What's astonishing is that this is Claudia Harbaugh's debut novel.
Well done. I'm looking forward to more of the Widows of Woburn."
"I enjoyed this book
very much and would recommend it to others to read. I look forward to reading
more of her books and sharing them with my friends."
