Or just how much he's willing to risk-not only to bed her, but to prove his worth....Review"Marvelle adeptly explores the best and worst of social class divides in this unforgettable story."-Booklist on Forever and a Day (starred review)"[A] quintessential romance." -Booklist on Prelude to a Scandal From the AuthorDear Reader,Everyone deserves a second chance at life. Especially when at the core of who and what they are, they define all things good. Sometimes, life cheats us out of opportunities we deserve. But even then, we have the right to dream and to be more than what everyone expects from us. Such is the story of Matthew Joseph Milton. Educated, dashing, and a true gentleman at heart, he finds that being a good man simply isn't enough to survive in a world looking to take everything away. So what do you do in an effort to fight back? You redefine yourself, even at the cost of yourself. In that, Matthew and Bernadette are the same (without knowing it). They both had to redefine themselves, only to discover that they buried far too much. Forever a Lady is my twisted version of the Newsies. Only I'm going with buff, older men toting pistols, instead of boys toting newspapers. It is my hope you will enjoy the searing passion Matthew and Bernadette learn to share not only for each other but life as they return to who and what they really are. I feel blessed enough to speak from experience when I say, there is no better happily ever after than finding yourself AND the love of your life.Much love,Delilah Marvelle
