No Second Chances

Awaking from a coma Katherine Eddington, Duchess of Wescott, is shocked to discover her husband is estranged, her son doesn't trust her, and all the servants are terrified of her. As she slowly mends from her head injury, she learns that not only was she a domineering, screeching shrew to her husband and the household staff, but she abused her child as well. Her own mother, having previously been banished by Katherine, arrives to reconcile and fill in the blanks, including revealing that her childhood nickname was Cassie. Pledging to right the wrongs that have wounded her marriage and scarred her life for the last ten years, Cassie tries to woo her handsome, dark-haird, blue-eyed husband into giving their marriage a second chance. Along the way, secrets about her life and marriage are revealed, leading Cassie to believe that her fall from the horse that caused her head injury may not have been an accident at all, but an outright attempt to murder her.
