The Merry Wife of Wyndmere
, features Jared and Persephone, The Duke and Duchess of Wyndmere from The Lords of Vice series. What happens after the Happily Ever After? Read on!

Persephone, Duchess of Wyndmere still has the weight she gained carrying her babes. She started to lose it and then a few months later she started gaining it back–worse still she’s exhausted again! The terrifying kidnapping attempts on her precious babes, coupled with her weight and exhaustion, have her moods shifting from happy to dark.

Jared, Duke of Wyndmere is still surly, preoccupied. Although he is concerned about his wife’s health and that of their babes, he is more concerned with hiring extra guards in London to widen his web of protection around his family. When he announces his plans to hie off to London, her reaction has him keeping the reason for the trip from her.

Persephone is devastated when he leaves, believing she has pushed him to leave with her highly emotional state. She sends two urgent missives to him—one verbal, one written, to arrive in London before the duke.

While he is away, his staff decides to interfere. Persephone agrees with the staff’s suggestions to host dinner which includes the vicar and the squire and their wives, and the squire’s nephew and his friend—rumored rakehells.

When rumors reach Wyndmere Hall that the duke attended Lady Stenerson’s ball and was seen waltzing with two widows and the lady herself, she cannot hide her unhappiness. Her staff urges her to invite the rakehells to tea, hoping the duke has received O’Malley’s missive about the duchess’ recent guests.

When the duke hears of her recent dinner guests, his concern for her reputation—and his own he decides to return to Wyndmere Hall to settle matters between them in person.

Can the interference of the duke’s guard, and their faithful staff, bring the duke and his duchess back together, or will their plans backfire and force them further apart?

C.H. was born in Aiken, South Carolina, but her parents moved back to northern New Jersey where she grew up. She believes in fate, destiny, and love at first sight. C.H. fell in love at first sight when she was seventeen. She was married for 41 wonderful years until her husband lost his battle with cancer. Soul mates, their hearts will be joined forever. They have three grown children—one son-in-law, two grandsons, two rescue dogs, and two rescue grand-cats.

Her characters rarely follow the synopsis she outlines for them…but C.H. has learned to listen to her characters! Her heroes will always have a few of her husband’s best qualities: his honesty, his integrity, his compassion for those in need, and his killer broad shoulders. C.H. writes about the things she loves most: Family, her Irish and English Ancestry, Baking, and Gardening.

C.H. is currently spending time in Regency England, writing for Dragonblade Publishing. Book four in her new series, The Lords of Vice, is in her editor’s hands. Pre-Order is live for Dragonblade’s 2021 holiday collections. Her novella, A Promise Kept…A Love Unspoken, will be in Star of Wonder: A Historical Romance Collection #1. She’s currently writing Rescued by the Lyon for The Lyon’s Den, releasing in February 2022. Watch for her new series featuring the fabulous O’Malleys from The Lords of Vice Series!

If you love Historical Western Romance, venture back to the Old West with her bestselling Irish Western Series. Perhaps you’d rather read her Medieval Trilogy: Mo Ghra, Mo Chroi, Go Deo (translation: My Love, My Heart, Forever,) set in 11th Century England.

Is Contemporary Romance more to your taste? Stop by the Circle G Ranch in Pleasure, Texas; the Claddagh Ranch in Emerson, Colorado; or Small Town USA ~ Apple Grove, Ohio ~ to see what the descendants from her historical romances are up to. While you’re at the Apple Grove Diner, be sure to try a slice of Peggy McCormack’s Buttermilk Pie…it snagged injured U.S. Marshal Ben Justiss’ attention and his heart in A Second Chance For Justiss!

Persephone Aka the Duchess of Wyndmere is emotional, feeling fat and drinking copious amounts of tea!
Jared the Duke feels like he is not doing enough to protect his wife and the twins!
There is a series of miscommunications and no communication with each other but everyone else! When the need of Jared dancing with widows at a ball more of Persephone insecurities grow!
Can they recognize they both want the same things and their love is a sure foundation! Bravo

Reaction

The usual romances never usually address the realities of giving birth and the issues of a woman's body. The addition of extra weight and the worry you have of being rejected 3 is awful. I loved how the household conspired to get them back together. It's a feel-good story that is a quick read.

The merry wife of Wyndmere

Excellent! Just showed how easily one can fall fowl of your partner in life. You need disagreements occasionally to really understand what you have. Lovely that it,all worked out in the end.

Loved It Very Much! Sweet, Funny, Enjoyable to the end!

I sort of am reading it out of order as the same time as the very first book in this series of books!
