Knight To Love: Marlena’s Story (Second Chance At Love Book 2)

LADY MARLENA DUCKWORTH has been widowed for more than a decade, during which time she’s had to raise her son to adulthood. Independent and outspoken, she doesn’t have any inclination to seek out another man to replace her husband. She is quite content to sit in the wings, keep up with her social life, and await the birth of her first grandchild.

SIR PHILIP HAWKSMOOR, semi-retired from representing the Crown in various countries around the world, hasn’t been looking for a new lady in his life. But when he crosses paths with Lady Marlena, they form a solid friendship. Both are in their late sixties. When friendship blossoms into romance and Sir Philip proposes marriage, Lady Marlena accepts. With one condition. Philip’s daughter Drucilla, an on-the-shelf miss getting on in years, must be wed and out of the home. And that’s where the problem is: Drucilla is totally anti-social and measures every suitor against the standards of her father upon whom she dotes.

When the usual methods of introduction of likely suitors fail, Lady Phoebe Fernman is summoned. Likened by some to a female Cupid, she concocts devious setups and wily encounters to provide Drucilla with possible suitors. Nothing seems to work until….

Can Philip and Marlena get Drucilla to the altar in time for their own nuptials? How does the Crown figure in Philip and Marlena’s wedding? And how will they handle the tragedy that befalls the family?
