About this ebook
Charity thought she had it all—marriage to respected consultant Tyco van der Brons and being a mother to his two children.
Settling into the tall house on the Herengracht had seemed like a dream. The twins, Letizia and Teile, had welcomed her warmly, eager for cardboard dolls' houses. Could any sensible woman have asked for greater comfort than the peaceful life she had found along the gracht?
Her days brought quiet pleasures, knitting by the hearth. Tyco was unfailingly kind, returning from the hospital to share restful evenings. What right had she to expect pretty speeches from a busy surgeon? Their sensible bargain had given her all she could desire.
So why did her heart yearn for his love, too? She had known from the start that theirs was a marriage of convenience—so it would be foolish to wish for anything more...wouldn't it?
