Her Wicked Sin
“His family’s city mansion did not boast the great spread of the country estate, but the proximity to the shipbuilding business allowed his father to keep observation over the family trade. Meanwhile, Henry’s mother was in a far better position to court the socialites, who in turn had paraded their patrician daughters for Henry’s inspection. The practice was a farce—it wasn’t as if Henry was to have a choice in his pairing—but it had mattered a great deal to his mother, so he had endured.
Th...e news of his marriage, sent by courier, had surely come as a slight, if not a blow, and he did not look forward to her disappointment, but his parents of all people should understand. His mother had not come from wealth. In fact, she was near penniless when her first husband—Robert’s father—had died.
