That meant the conversation consisted of subjects Tom couldn’t give a rat’s arse about. With the exception of a few guests such as Rhys Winterborne, a Welsh department store owner, this was an aristocratic crowd. Outside, guests congregated at the front entrance to cheer for the newly married couple as they departed for their honeymoon.
He wandered through the ancient Jacobean manor house, looking for a quiet place to sit and close his eyes. The air had been so thick with perfume, it had given Tom a mild headache. At the ceremony this morning, the tiny estate chapel of Eversby Priory had been stuffed to the rafters, as if the entire Covent Garden Flower Market had disgorged its contents there. Nothing but romantic drivel, lukewarm food, and far, far too many flowers. But he should have anticipated the Ravenel wedding would be an utter bore, as weddings always were. He liked barging into places where he hadn’t been invited, knowing he was too rich for anyone to dare throw him out. Not that Tom Severin gave a damn about politeness or etiquette. It had been a mistake to invite himself to the wedding. However, I liked it so much that I decided to make it the beginning of Tom and Cassandra’s story! Chasing Cassandra This sneak peek of Chasing Cassandra was actually a deleted scene from the previous Ravenels novel, Devil’s Daughter. Īmazon B&N Kobo iBooks BAM! Indigo.ca Indiebound But the chase for her heart has only just begun. The chase for Cassandra’s hand may be over.
As always, he gets what he wants-or does he? There’s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride:
When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra’s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he’s been waiting for. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win. Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love-the one thing he can’t give. It should be simple to find the perfect wife-and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he’s determined to have her. Anything-or anyone-is his for the asking. Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises.
