Katharine Daltry, the heroine
of my book The Marchington Scandal
(just reissued), had enough of high society when she was younger. But she can’t
resist the pleas of a country cousin who’s come up to town for the Season. Only
how can she help? She has no influence over the society siren who has fascinated
her cousin’s rustic husband. She does know someone who might, but he’s the last
man on earth she’d ask – handsome, heartless Lord Stonenden. They’ve barely
spoken since she refused his proposal five years ago. But when it’s family, you
do what you have to do. Right? So Katharine sets out to separate young Tom
Marchington from his sultry obsession.
For his part, Stonenden finds
the spectacle curiously fascinating. He no longer has any interest in
Katharine, of course. Since she had the effrontery to reject him, he’s moved on
to far more uncomplicated…endeavors. Yet somehow he can’t help but watch. Then
he just has to give the campaign a small push. And finally he finds himself
totally embroiled in the lovely Katharine’s schemes, with no desire whatsoever
to resist.
Was there a time when you
just had to put yourself out for family? Even though you weren’t sure what you
could do? Comment to win copies of my two recent releases – The Bargain and The Marchington Scandal.

ReplyDeleteDon't most of us at one time or another! I normally give in to most of my family members. Some people just seem to want their way all the time!
ReplyDeleteCatslady, you're the winner of the two books. Email me at janeashfordauthor@gmail.com to let me know where to send them. Congrats!
DeleteOoh, sounds intriguing! Yup, been there done that. And times I stand back and watch it happen for the betterment of the person. We do a lot for family!
ReplyDeleteStanding back is tempting. : )
DeleteHappy re launch Jane! It sounds like a book for me :) And yes indeed, family does keep us hopping! LOL
ReplyDeleteI can think of several times I've tried to help out after being asked.... I can also think of a few where a family member had to be told "No, not this time. You have to do it one your own." Not a much fun as a relatively easy fix.
ReplyDeleteSounds like good judgment calls.
DeleteI'm always there for my family, I help in any way I can - without pushing help on them or shouldering their responsibilities. Usually it's just to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on, but I know that's important too.
ReplyDeleteListening is so important too.
DeleteI'd love to know why she changed her mind about him after all that time!
