Chasing the Other Tisdale
by Jessica Jefferson
Blurb:
She’s the other sister…
Overshadowed by the beauty of her older sister, Lillian is better known as the other Tisdale; unremarkable and unsure how she will ever deliver on the promise of her family’s name.
He’s a rake in need of reforming…
Will Colton leads a frivolous existence, embracing notoriety instead of managing his family’s fortune. Determined to forget his financial burden and his father’s growing resentment, he maintains a lifestyle dedicated to pleasure and self-indulgence. When Will is invited to the Tisdale estate for an extended holiday, he never expects to become friends with the forgettable Lillian. But when a family secret comes to light, he must choose between leaving London and protecting the honor of one woman or staying and risking the reputation of another.
Upon his return, Will finds the girl he left behind has come out of the shadows and into her own. Lillian’s finally the center of attention, and not all of it good. With his own reputation in tatters, can a reformed rake lure her out of the hands of London’s bachelors and back into his own arms? Can he escape his past and reclaim her heart, or has he lost her forever?
Excerpt:
“Do you think you can walk?” he asked.
Lilly looked down at her arm hanging limply at her side. Contrary to the pain, it still appeared to be attached to her body, but the injury to her ankle, though far less severe, would definitely hamper any hopes of independent mobility. “I sincerely doubt it. I seem to have twisted my ankle as well.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?” He reached for the injury in question.
She quickly pulled her leg out of the way of his reach. “It’s nothing, just a simple sprain I’m sure. It’s barely noticeable in comparison to my arm.” She reached over and held the arm closer to her in an effort to relieve some of the pressure she felt from her shoulder. “I’ve never felt anything so awful in all my life. There was an unfortunate incident with some undercooked meat once, when I was eleven, but I’d gladly take that over this any day.”
He tapped his finger against his chin, as if thinking of a possible alternative. “It appears as if I’ll have to carry you then,” he finally announced.
Lilly was certain her eyes had widened big as saucers. “C-carry me?”
“Well, if you can’t walk, I don’t have much of a choice.”
