    About this ebook

    Miss Abigail Wright, disillusioned spinster, hides her secret pain behind encouraging smiles and optimistic laughter. Self-pity, she believes, is for the truly wretched. So when her mother insists she attend a house party—uninvited—she determines to simply make the best of it…until an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.

    Alex Cross, the "Duke of Ice," has more than earned the nickname given him by the ton. He's given up on happiness but will not reject sensual pleasure. After all, a man has needs.

    The week ought to have been pleasantly uneventful for both of them, with nature walks, parlor games, and afternoon teas on the terrace…but for some inferior stitchery on poor Abigail's bodice.

    And now the duke is faced with a choice. Should he make this mouse a respectable offer and then abandon her to his country estate? She's rather pathetic and harmless, really. Oughtn't to upset his life whatsoever.

    His heart, however, is another matter…

      The Courage To Be Happy

      Feb 1, 2023

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

    • 4/5
      Delightful book. Great story with fantastic characters. Even the side characters are fun..esp Penelope and Natalie.
    • 4/5
      Worth the read. The story took a surprising turn toward deep, as these well-drawn characters dealt with things from their pasts and reached for hope together.
    • 4/5
      I usually don't give 5 stars unless I would read it again, but I think a good many people might like it enough to rate 5 stars. The main characters are very three dimensional. There is no contrived drama between the ML and FL due to the FL being a flighty, sensitive, whiney individual who is extremely obsessed with decorum. FL seems "lived in," and you come to have a respect for her after understanding her background a bit more. The author's experience as a bartender really makes sense because it is obvious that they are excellent at understanding other people. I really hate when an incongruent action or flimsy motivation takes me out of the story but there were no jarring moments in this work. I didn't even really side-eye how a "plain" girl got such a good catch bc so much of the thought process of the ML was revealed. It makes even more sense when you learn more than what you are initially told about his background. I recommend!
    • 5/5
      I loved this book. The story es very good and the characters, all of them, are so likable and lovable. I recommend this book a thousand times.
    • 4/5
      It's started very promising, didn't meet my expectations but was a good read. I thought it had some originality to it.
