Description
They marry and she travels with him to his marvelous villa on the sea. Once there, she is introduced to the household servants, including the grim and reproving Mathilda. Mathilda is a formidable opponent, and it takes all of Evangeline's guile and resources to outmaneuver the imperious maidservant. Evangeline soon finds herself with child, and with the support of the midwife, she begins to exert her will. Out with the restricting corsets and stays! Evangeline has no desire to confine her body to the dictates of fashion. She wants her baby to be healthy and strong, and the only way to do that is to ensure her own comfort. Mathilda is horrified, but cannot bend Evangeline to her will.
At
the same time, Evangeline is attempting to breach the citadel that is
her husband's broken heart. Paul honestly cannot say how it has come to
pass that he is the widower of four deceased wives, each one expiring
under odd and distressing circumstances. As a result, he has locked
down his heart to any further intimacy. He is half-convinced that
Evangeline shall also die, and it would be unbearable if he were to
allow her into his heart.
To My Readers: As a child, I loved the Grimm Brothers' fairytale of the two beautiful sisters, Snow White and Rose Red, who rescue Black Bear from a certain death during one bitterly cold winter. If you've already read Rose Red and Black Bear, then you know the fate of Rose Red, but do you know what happens to the other sister, whom I have renamed Evangeline? Evangeline has a completely different journey from her sister, as she travels with her new husband to his villa by the sea. There are dangers waiting for her, and it will take every shred of her will and inner strength to overcome the evil waiting for her in every corner and shadow.
