The Lady in the Tower

2012

He’s made a vow . . . Eight months ago, noted physician Sir Richard Thornton was called to attend the final days of young Baron Kilkenny. It was a sad, tragic case, made more so by the hauntingly beautiful Baroness Kilkenny, Jane Doherty, who had tried desperately to save her own husband. Having witnessed so many of life’s worst tragedies, Richard believes himself safe from distracting attachments, but Jane’s haunting beauty has lingered . . . She refuses to accept the conventional . . . The daughter of a prominent physician who trained her in the healing arts, Jane believes she could have saved her husband if only taciturn, over-bearing Sir Richard hadn’t interfered. Jane vows to have nothing more to do with the abrupt, rude doctor and works hard to establish a thriving practice of her own for those in need. But society isn’t happy with her attempt to move in a man’s world, and the scandal sheets spread scurrilous rumors and label her the ‘Wicked Widow.’ But who is really ‘wicked’ . . . Richard is fascinated by the thought of the angelic, delicate Jane as a wanton and wild ‘Wicked Widow,’ which is why he’s spent a considerable amount of time making certain their paths would never again cross. But fate has other plans and soon Jane and Richard find themselves sharing a patient while heated tempers – and even hotter passion – flares once again.
