Wildridge (Manors and Matches Book 4)

Description

Mark Andrews is in want of a wife.

With both of his best friends married, he finds himself more than a little envious of their domestic bliss. His quest for a wife is halted with the unexpected arrival of an old acquaintance, who comes bearing a secret and a magnetic wit.

Violet Gibbons had found excitement travelling the country in preparation for her marriage to an adventurous naval officer. When a letter arrives, informing her of his wish to end their attachment, Violet runs home to nurse a broken heart and evaluate her purpose in life. As she assists her father in his duties as a physician, she rediscovers joy in caring for her friends and neighbours. Along the way, Violet finds herself drawn to Mark, the handsome son of one of her father’s patients, who proves to be everything that is good and clever.

Battling lingering hurts and bold newcomers, Mark and Violet must face the decisions of their pasts and determine what matters most to them now.
