"Includes bonus excerpts from the Westcott novels"--Dust jacket.
"It's never too late to fall in love in this enchanting new story, a novella set in the Westcott series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh. Matilda Westcott has spent her life tending to the needs of her mother, the Dowager Countess of Riverdale, never questioning the life of solitude she has spun for herself. To Matilda, who considers herself the aging spinster daughter, marriage is laughable--love is a game for the young, after all. But her modest, quiet life of order unravels when a dashing gentleman from her past reappears, threatening to charm his way into her heart yet again. Charles Sawyer, Viscount Dirkson, does not expect to see Matilda Westcott thirty-six years after their failed romance. Moreover, he does not expect decades-old feelings to emerge at the very sight of her. When encountering Matilda at a dinner hosted by the Earl of Riverdale, he finds himself as fascinated by her as he was the first day they met, and wonders if, after all these years, they have a chance at happiness together. Charles is determined to crack the hard exterior Matilda has built for over three decades or risk losing her once again.."-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great book, different from the others in this series submitted by LizBC on June 14, 2020, 8:34pm I loved this book. I have been a fan of Mary Balogh for years. I had gotten a bit tired of the Westcott series, though (I didn't care much for that family!) - so I hadn't read the most recent ones. Something about this grabbed my interest, and I am so happy I did read it. It's different from many of the author's usual books, in that the heroine is an older woman, not a young (late teen or 20-something) woman/girl making her debut. She treated the subject with sensitivity and good taste. I enjoyed it so much that I want to go back and read other books in the series. Each book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story, but I think they will be enjoyed more when read as a series.
