For some time, she ’d been aware of the growing distance between them and had wondered at it. He ’d been so quiet at dinner, hardly engaging in conversation at all and ignoring her entirely. If she were completely honest, she would admit that it wasn ’t simply the heat that had left her sleepless. Clad only in her night rail and wrapper, it was hardly modest, but she hadn ’t the heart to dress fully when all she wanted was the solace, or at minimum the distraction, of a good book. Larissa had been as well, but the heat had always been unforgiving of her. The lamps had been doused hours earlier, the entire household was abed. That is until someone from Sabines past turns up with nefarious designs that put her life in jeopardy! “The Late Husband” is PERFECTION! Beautifully written, featuring brilliantly defined and developed characters, delightfully smart dialogue, and a fantastic, smooth flowing, easy to follow, engrossing, tension filled plot! No spoilers! I don’t want to ruin any surprises, but I will say that I loved how everything resolved! It all made sense, and I was left entertained with no unanswered questions.The windows were open as she entered the library. Lord Edmund Grayson, so smitten with Sabine that he really doesn’t care that she isn’t who she says, or what she might be hiding.
Sabine de Roussard, beautiful, smart, dressmaker to the elite, and a fraud. He wants to see her hang.Ĭan Gray manage to win Sabine’s freedom and her heart? Or will he lose her to a man who never deserved her just because the law says it’s his right? But he doesn’t want to reconcile with his wife. That is until a brute of a man claiming to be her husband comes knocking at his door. When she begins to sneak off, to lie about where she’s going and who she is with, he begins to wonder if perhaps the bloom is off the rose and she’s grown tired of him. What he does mind is that she suddenly appears to be keeping more secrets from him about her present than her past. He’s so in love with her, he doesn’t even mind her atrociously fake French accent. Lord Edmund Grayson, Earl of Winburn, has fallen madly in love with his dressmaker mistress. And now she’s in love with an earl who wants her to be more than his mistress. Third, she fled her home in Yorkshire to vanish in the cosmopolitan city of London because she had, albeit inadvertently, killed her abusive husband, Lawrence Russell…except now she isn’t so sure he’s dead because she might have seen him in Hyde Park. Second, her name isn’t actually Sabine de Roussard. Madame Sabine de Roussard has become one of the most fashionable modistes in London, but she’s hiding a terrible secret.
