Mother of the Bride by Victoria Hinshaw
Widowed Amy, Countess of Blakemore, is utterly focused on the arrangements for her daughter’s wedding. She needs no distractions, or surely it won’t all get done on time! Then, for the first time, she meets her son-in-law-to-be’s much older half-brother, who proves to be more distracting then she could ever have imagined. William Easton, Baron Hartley, had shown no interest in marrying again, since the mother of his two daughters died. Now, as his half-brother is about to marry, the idea suddenly seems much more appealing. Of course, that might just be because he can’t take his eyes off the beautiful mother of the bride-to-be. But will she accept his suit?

Pelisse of rich Tobine silk striped, of Christmas holly-berry color, and bright grass green, trimmed round collar, cuffs and down the front with very broad swansdown.
