Handpicked Husband (Love Inspired Historical)
“Fulton. In fact...”
“...to have such polished, eligible gentlemen, looking to make Turnabout their home...”
“...tell us about Philadelphia. Is it really...”
Adam skirted the edges of the gathering, catching snippets of conversation here and there. He was doing his level best to keep from being collared by any of the dozens of Turnabout’s finest now crowding Regina Nash’s lawn.
Once upon a time he’d felt at home at gatherings such as this. He’d prided himself on how far he’d come from his humble... beginnings. He’d thrived on the interaction with the educated and social elite of Philadelphia.
All that had disappeared, of course. The only respectable home in Philadelphia that still opened its doors to him was Judge Madison’s. Old friends, when they bothered to acknowledge him at all, did so with frigid politeness or uncomfortable nervousness.
Would the people currently strolling around Regina’s back lawn still offer friendly smiles, warm welcomes and open invitations to visit if they knew his history?MoreLess
