The Romantic Widow — Mollie Chappell

LUCIA was remarkably beautiful and sweet natured. But she could not live with the spitefulness of her stepsister. When Gervase Leigh, a wealthy man of impeccable background, asked her to marry him, she accepted this means of escape -- in spite of her attraction to another man, Heron Vaughan, who was as poor as he was wonderful.

When Gervase died of pneumonia, leaving Lucia with two small children to raise, Heron proved a tower of strength. It was only a matter of time before they fell deeply in love -- and were faced with choosing between a happy future together and keeping the gossips at bay...

Hero: Heron Vaughan
Heroine: Lucia Leigh
