Excerpt from Wanted: A Husband: A Novel

On the second landing she paused to divide a few moments between hard breathing and hat ing the imitation-leather roll beneath her arm. Including the wall-paper design within, just rejected by B. Riegel 85 Sons, the whole affair might have weighed two pounds. To its ill conditioned bearer it felt like two hundred. She set a hand to her panting chest and a thorn promptly impaled her thumb. Tearing off the offending rose Darcy flung it over the banister rail. It was a flabby, second - hand wraith of a rose, anyhow, having been passed down to the wearer by her flat-mate, Maud Raines, who in turn had it, along with eleven others, from her fiance.
