An Enduring Love
by Wareeze Woodson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Born and raised in Latvia, Rebecca Balodis marries Rhys Sudduth, an English diplomat. Shortly thereafter, he is summoned home to attend his father’s death-bed. Rebecca cannot accompany him at the time and becomes trapped in the turmoil plaguing her country. He is informed she died in the upheaval.
Nearly four years later, she escapes and arrives in London with their son in tow. Arriving in the middle of his sister’s ball is very awkward, especially since Rhys plans to announce his betrothal to a young debutante later in the evening.
Trouble, tangled in suspense and danger, follow her from Latvia. Can this pair ever find or even recognize an enduring love? Is it worth keeping?

Read an excerpt:
A liveried butler, stern of countenance and standing stiffly erect opened the door. “Your invitation, Ma’am.”
Rebecca trembled, but forced out, “Surely, I don’t need an invitation. Please inform Lord Rhys that his wife is here.”
Astonishment flashed across the butler’s face before he bowed his head and nodded for her to follow him. Sonja was seated in the hall while he led Rebecca to a small parlor papered with stripes of ivory and cream. The entire room seemed a little intimidating, with an elaborate sofa covered with gold brocade sitting before a wide window. Chairs were shattered about the room as well, but the beauty of the room did little to sooth her nerves. She glanced at the low table in front of the sofa then let her gaze shift to the fireplace, glowing with warmth. The softly burning coals added soothing comfort to the room and with that, her whole body relaxed.
After the butler exited, Rebecca quickly knelt down to straighten Johnnie’s apparel. “We want to look our best mans maz cilveku, my little man. You must learn English better now we are home. They are not expecting us, but no matter. Your father will love you.”
The door opened and Rhys stood on the threshold with a scowl of impatience on his face, speaking to the butler over his shoulder. “Some strumpet masquerading as my deceased wife. Be damned. You’re positive she said, my wife. Not a long lost relative wanting to sponge…?”
Rebecca jumped to her feet, took Johnnie by the hand and pasted a trembling smile on her lips. “Rhys.”

DeleteI think Facebook has a little bit more influence over what new books will be brought to my attention than Twitter does simply because of the sheer volume of Twitter messages I receive vs. that of Facebook and how I receive them. Right now, I access both accounts through my laptop only, because I haven't yet upgraded to a smart phone. It is easier for me to keep track of all activity on my Facebook page with the new scrolling feature on the right hand side, than it is to read every single Twitter message that comes through. In fact, it was that scrolling feature that alerted me to this very tour! Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. I appreciate the time this took and I'll consider what you said. Wareeze Woodson
DeleteOne of the reviewers on Amazon said this book read like a movie...or rather, it would make a good made-for-TV film. If that should happen, who do you see playing the main character's parts?

I haven't been to a movie in so long, I don't knew any of the actors. I watch TV. NCIS, Mind of a Criminal, that type of show, but picking a lead would be hard. Now if I could choose one of the Dancing With the Stars, dancers, I'd swoon with delight. There are 3 or 4 that make my heart beat a little faster. Wareeze Woodson
DeleteSounds like a fantastic read.
