About the book
Everything comes to he who waits.... Josy Fereday, widowed and wary, has decided that she isn't marriage material. But now that her twin sister, Belvia, is happily wedded, Josy must get on with her own life. Dacre Banchereau is offering her an almost perfect solution-a place to stay and a job. But the catch is that Dacre is also proposing marriage ...the one thing that Josy feels she can never accept. Dacre possesses a quality Josy hasn't encountered in a man before: patience. He's asked Josy to marry him and he's prepared to wait--either until she's ready to be his wife, or until he's made her fall in love with him....(less)
