My contribution: When Love Comes Knocking
A lonely widow…an
indiscretion…a gift for redemption
Blurb:
Penelope Witherspoon was
charmed into marriage by Evan Thoroughgood only to learn she loved a
philanderer, who gambled away his inheritance and drank too heavily. It came as
no surprise that four months after their marriage, Evan was shot dead for
cheating at cards. Since his death, Penelope has come to depend on his older
brother, Gil. In fact, she has come to love and respect him. No two men could
be further apart in character. But, if Gil learns of her secret indiscretion,
he will want nothing further to do with her. What is Penelope to do?
Excerpt:
Penelope hadn’t seen Gil in three days. She began to
worry that something was wrong between them. She tried to go about her work to
keep her mind from wandering and thinking about him, but every time she saw the
Christmas tree he’d brought her and helped her decorate, her thoughts went
right back to the night he left and the strained words at their parting.
Had he guessed at the truth about her and Banjo? Did he
hate her now? What could she do to fix things and make him understand?
