Chasing
the Other Tisdale
by
Jessica Jefferson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She’s
the other sister…
Overshadowed
by the beauty of her older sister, Lillian is better known as the
other Tisdale; unremarkable and unsure how she will ever deliver on
the promise of her family's name.
He’s
a rake in need of reforming…
Will
Colton leads a frivolous existence, embracing notoriety instead of
managing his family’s fortune. Determined to forget his financial
burden and his father’s growing resentment, he maintains a
lifestyle dedicated to pleasure and self-indulgence. When Will is
invited to the Tisdale estate for an extended holiday, he never
expects to become friends with the forgettable Lillian. But when a
family secret comes to light, he must choose between leaving London
and protecting the honor of one woman or staying and risking the
reputation of another.
Upon
his return, Will finds the girl he left behind has come out of the
shadows and into her own. Lillian’s finally the center of
attention, and not all of it good. With his own reputation in
tatters, can a reformed rake lure her out of the hands of London's
bachelors and back into his own arms? Can he escape his past and
reclaim her heart, or has he lost her forever?
Excerpt;
He didn’t
try and crawl out of the hole he’d so easily dug for himself.
Rather, instead of making an already awkward situation worse, he
smiled. It was a cavalier sort of smile—one that she just knew he’d
used hundreds of times before to get him out of this sort of trouble.
Women were undoubtedly willing to forgive him most transgressions
just by a flash of this winning grin.
Lord
knew she was.
She’d
never before met anyone so handsome, so charming, so…
A bolt
of pain shot up her arm, as if God himself was punishing her for
having such immoral thoughts.
“Enough,”
he said. “We need to get you in front of a doctor. The sooner, the
better.”
“Good
idea,” she agreed. “How do you suggest we go about doing that?”
“First,
we’ll need to secure your arm.”
She
nodded. “You mean fashion a sling? I’m sure there’s something
around here that we could use as rope. Perhaps ivy? There’s a great
deal of it about the estate.”
His hand
flew up to his chest. “What do you take me for, some sort of
bushman? For heaven’s sake, I’m from Grosvenor Square, not some
jungle. I wouldn’t have the slightest idea of how to go about
accomplishing something like that.”
Lilly
bit her lip. She’d never make it being jostled about without
something to steady her arm. “Did you have something else in mind,
then?”
Mr.
Colton started removing his jacket. “I thought I’d use my shirt.
I’ll rip some strips off of it and make the sling out of that.”
“Your
shirt,” she repeated, suddenly questioning if she’d indeed
suffered a head injury along with her broken arm.
He
tossed the jacket to the ground behind him. “Yes.”
She was
confused. “But then what will you wear?”
He was
unfastening his waistcoat. “Nothing, I suppose .”
