Widowswickedwish (2014)
“Olivia could remember very little of the actual ceremony and even less of the celebration that had followed.
And now they were in her husband’s carriage on their way to her husband’s house, presumably to take tea in the horrendous parlor before retiring to separate chambers to change for dinner.
Then what? The thought brought a tightening to her chest and she drew a shallow breath. She hadn’t allowed herself to contemplate the wedding night, had only just managed to get through the endless days... leading up to the ceremony.
When no whispers of her scandalous behavior surfaced, she’d contemplated ending the betrothal. She could set him free, set them both free.
Except the reprieve from gossip might prove short lived.
How could she condemn Jack and Justine to a life spent hiding in the north of England?
How could she cast her own children’s futures into certain disgrace?
For herself she would not have minded the scandal. Save her mother, her family would have continued to receive her.MoreLess
