Does love really heal all wounds?

After being widowed by a steeplechase accident in Ireland, Lady Kate Whelan abandons the turf. But once her mourning is complete, her late husband’s debts drive her to seek help in Newmarket amidst the whirl of a race meet. There she encounters antiquities expert Evan Rhys, her late husband’s roguish friend―whom she hasn’t seen since the day of his lordship’s mysterious death.

Now that fate has reunited them, Evan seizes the chance to win over the woman he’s always loved. But once back within the old stone walls of Whelan House, long-held secrets come to light that shake up everything Kate thought she knew about her marriage. Now she wonders who she can trust with her heart―and Evan must decide between love and a truth that will separate him from all his heart desires.

Kiley O：

Scandalous Ever After was about Lady Kate Durham, the Countess of Wheland, daughter of Sir William Chandler, Baronet, and the widow of Lord Conall Ritchie Durham, the late fifth Earl of Whelan, and Antiquities expert Evan Rhys. Please Note: This book has two covers and is listed on epub under two separate publishing dates, this one being published on July 4, 2017, and the second (this second one) being published on February 8, 2022. However, there is no difference in the stories. They are one and the same. Kate, married at the age of 17 to Conall for her dowry, was widowed at the age of 28 when he fell from a horse, was left with two small children, Nora, the oldest, and Declan, the new Irish earl at the young age of 8. Evan, having been friends with Conall since school, fell in love with Kate at first sight...as the new bride to his best friend. Though he remained loyal to Conall, he loved Kate from afar. Knowing many of Conall's secrets, Evan struggled to remain friends with him. Having fought with his friend on the very day of his death, Evan stayed away from Ireland for two long years, never expecting to see Kate and her kids again. After meeting up again two years later, Evan could no longer resist the pull he felt towards Kate and decided to return with her to Ireland. Kate, trying to salvage the earldom for her son, returned to England to visit her family and seek financial aid. After struggling for two years to overcome the debts her late husband left her with, she had no other recourse but to seek aid. Unable to find it, she and Evan returned to Ireland together, their former friendship slowly developing into something more. This story was longer than it needed to be but it was an enjoyable novel to read. There was enough intrigue to keep the reader on their toes, with a decent amount of angst and drama. The passion, though at times the hit-or-miss variety, was apparent from the start. The rollercoaster ride of secrets was often overwhelming, but not so much that it detracted from the book. The characters left a bit to be desired though. Evan seemed almost afraid of his shadow at times and was a bit of a coward when it came to revealing his true feelings for Kate. She, on the other hand, was over-the-top wishy-washy. Kate couldn't seem to make up her mind what she wanted, sometimes wanting to be everything for everybody, while at other times uncertain as to just what it was she DID want. While it was a good story, it wasn't a five-star worthy book. It meandered too much and, when secrets were finally brought to light, the answers were a bit weak for the depth of the mystery surrounding them. All in all, it left much to be desired for a novel.
