Summary
Polly Chilton, nee Harrington, was all too aware of the wasted years that lay behind her. It had been foolishly self-inflicted and taken the love of her young niece to shake her awake to all that she'd so pointlessly missed. But no more. Her wedding day almost over and with the prospect of her honeymoon ahead, she was determined to wrench every overdue drop of happiness from it. She suspected her beloved felt the same. But if only she could be sure. If only she could persuade herself that it was rightly hers.
