Fromnowon (2014)
“Especially as they pertained to one woman—the Duchess of Hammond.
Sebastian Traynor would have scoffed at anyone’s attempt to call him a romantic, but he was. Since he’d first met Grace Oliver, née Lawton, she’d wielded an unnatural and unknowing hold over him. His foolish younger self had not recognized such feelings would not be assuaged by the number of women he bedded.
Knocking on her door a year and half after the Duke of Hammond had expired was also a mistake, but that didn’t stop him fro...m gripping the knocker and pounding it against the double wooden doors.
The bigger mistake had been not fighting for her when her family had pressured her into marrying a title, a man with substantially more wealth and prestige, while he had been the second son of an earl. The death of both his father and older brother had made many things possible. Unfortunately she had been married for years by then and he had to watch her from afar.
The estate in remote Cornwall had been over a week’s journey in intermittently bad weather.MoreLess
