Om den här e-boken
In this scandalous follow-up to the Depression-era tale Mrs. Wiggins, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe brings even more period drama as a proper church-going woman ensnares a widower living too many secrets—and lies.
Reminiscent of Monroe’s classic, captivating, scandalous Mama Ruby series.
Forty-something widow Jessie Tucker is beloved throughout Lexington, Alabama, for her kind heart and endless generosity. But she feels it's past time she rewarded herself—especially when upstanding Hubert Wiggins tragically loses his wife and son. Making herself indispensable, yet discouraged by Hubert’s lack of romantic interest, Jessie cooks up a deception she knows will make pious Hubert do right by her . . .
Hoax or not, Hubert couldn’t be happier. The passionate self he’s long hidden from everyone has a new, much-riskier secret love. And the unsuspecting second Mrs. Wiggins will help him maintain his ever-so-devout image in the community . . .
But when Hubert is not the ardent lover Jessie always dreamed he was, she turns to handsome younger man Conway. Suddenly the “good church wife” can't resist temptation at all. And someone is watching: Conway’s new girlfriend—and Jessie's longtime rival--Blondeen. Now Blondeen has the perfect opportunity to destroy Jessie’s reputation--then become the wife Hubert should have had all along. Unless all their secrets destroy them first.
