Chapter 43

Warrick Synclaire was a tall man, at six foot three taller than most in the area—even her own sons were at least four or five inches shorter—with black hair in a pronounced widow’s peak and fathomless blue eyes. Those eyes were the only things he’d inherited from his father.

Except for his prickly nature…his parents had a hand in that.

If there was one thing Lady Eugenia knew, it was that while Warrick Synclaire had not been an attractive child, he had been lovable.

Such a pity both his parents had been so lost in the disillusionment of what neither was that they hadn’t been able to see that.
