*Book Four In The Gentleman's Proposal Series*

When illicit photos of Georgie Brightwater hit London society, it is not only her reputation that is ruined. Her whole life is upended - her courtship finished, her trust in her beloved shattered, and her person shipped off to Ireland in shame. It is not long before her family is begging her to return home, but Georgie is as stubborn as they come. If her family wanted her to disappear, then disappear she shall. 

Until a job offer arrives that she simply cannot turn down. A job that sends her back to London, and into the presence of the man who broke her heart. 

Gregory Bancroft is a very good person, except for the one time that he isn't. But that one time is all it takes to ruin the life of the woman he loves. For two years he's tried to go on without her, eeking out an existence that is merely tolerable, but never happy. 

But Georgie is back in London now, and he will not let her slip away so easily this time.

Wife Forgotten, a novella by imaginationgirl35

My husband, Mark, is a good man; he's a strong man. When I needed him to step up with our kids as I finished dental school, he became our little family's rock without ever complaining or being bitter. He owned late-night feedings and diaper changes like a champ while I slept so I could be prepared for my classes in the morning. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. He's working hard on a high-profile case that could change the trajectory of his career if he wins this case. In marriage, sometimes a little sacrifice is needed, which is why on our tenth wedding anniversary, like the past six months, I'm celebrating alone, a sacrifice I'm more than willing to give to the man who's so proudly stood by my side all these years. That is until this betrayal . . . . . . well, let's just say it was never a sacrifice I was willing to make. For Readers: *This story is a novella. My goal is to keep it UNDER fifteen chapters with each chapter no more than 2K words. *Constructive critiques are welcomed. * I do try my best to proofread, but mistakes will slip through. Feel free to point them out!
