Enchanting Nicholette | Spotlight & Excerpt

Welcome to the blog tour & giveaway for Enchanting Nicholette by Dawn Crandall, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In this captivating novella by Dawn Crandall, Nicholette Everstone is already a widow at the age of twenty-two: her husband was murdered on their wedding day. She has just returned to Boston after two years of mourning in Europe. Although her husband was loving, the marriage was an arranged one, and Nicholette would like to wed again–this time for love…and to someone safe.

As she acclimates to life in Back Bay again, Nicholette meets someone she can’t help but fall for. But when she learns of the danger and sacrifices Cal Hawthorne takes on for the safety of others, will her heart be strong enough to keep her fears of “what if” at bay?

EXCERPT FROM ENCHANTING NICHOLETTE

Uncertainties constantly bombarded me, overwhelmed me on a daily basis. I was twenty-two, a widow of two years, my mourning almost complete, and I would soon be reentered into the only society I’d ever known—but as a new person.

Mrs. William Everstone, but without William.

He had loved me. Quite adamantly, in fact. So much so that it had been him who’d requested of my father that I marry him instead of his brother Nathan. There was so much more to it, but ultimately, it had been a favorable switch…that is, until the tragedy. Now Nathan was married to his beloved Amaryllis, and I was all alone again.

“You’ll probably be married again, Nicholette, before I am,” Sylvie added.

“I doubt that,” I stated flatly. Although the idea of remarriage was something I’d contemplated for months already, I was certain my mother would faint at the mere thought. And really, who would I marry now? I’d grown up much in the last two lonely years, and I wasn’t sure what I wanted anymore. Nor how to go about maneuvering the marriage market I had a feeling I would be thrown into soon enough.

“Your look is utterly magnifique. Beaucoup plus belle than I with my cheveux roux.” She poked aggressively at the loosened strands of dark auburn hair slipping out from under her bonnet, as if her hair wasn’t gorgeous. As if she wasn’t gorgeous.

At times, I didn’t even know what to say to her.
