Wronged (The Cuvier Widows Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
He wondered again why Jean would give up Marian and all of this to live a lie with two other women? Marian was beautiful and witty and more strong-willed than any woman he’d ever met. Their verbal sparring both challenged and excited him. Even when things were tense, there was something about her that beckoned him like a siren to a sailor. Marian hadn’t shown up to the office today and after the way he’d left her the other night, he worried about her most of the day. Though he’d apologized that night, he felt as if she’d withdrawn to some unreachable place. On impulse today he’d bought her and the children beignets and brought her the latest financial figures. Anything to keep her trust and not arouse her suspicions during this time, while he worked to sell the business. The sound of a child’s laugh drifted on the breeze from the back of the big house. He walked down a flagstone path that led to a gate. A large crepe myrtle shaded him from the sun as he gazed over the top of the gate at Marian.
