A Proposal Reconsidered

When Marina Miller jilted George Gainsford in favor of a prosperous landowner, she believed she had secured her future. She never imagined that choosing the wealthier suitor would cost her so dearly. She soon discovered she'd traded away her happiness for a large house and a husband who didn't love her.

George left to join the army, his heart wounded from rejection. Returning years later as the town of Glenby's new rector, he finds Marina widowed and stirring feelings he was certain time had long since buried. But he is determined to treat Marina as he would any other parishioner, never again making the mistake of loving her.

Left childless and with no provision from her husband when he died, Marina pursues her dream of publishing her novels to provide for herself and her mother even as she faces disapproval from her fellow villagers and rejection from publishers. But when old feelings resurface between her and George, both the rector and the widow find that years of distance are no match for a love that never quite let go.

This sweet Regency romance from a New York Times bestselling author captivates with second chances and revived dreams for fans of Jane Austen's Persuasion.Read less
