Sweet Doro

Twice the age, he was twice as appealing

Four and thirty and a widow, Lady Dorothea Sailings thought nothing could surprise her any-more. But upon arriving in London from the country with her two young charges, Doro was met by Garreth Amberson, Viscount Tolver, now thirty-five, who had captured her heart sixteen years be-fore and apparently still possessed it.

A happy reunion revealed that Garreth was in London for the same purpose. He had brought his ward (of a similar age) for his first London season. Garreth and Doro agreed to join forces in the best interest of the youths.

Garreth was instantly accepted by Doro's little family, as was Doro welcomed into his. But Doro worried about the sixteen years that had passed and chided herself for acting like some schoolroom miss when Garreth treated her as he would have any old, dear and cherished friend.
