April Kihlstrom: The Nabob's Widow

The Nabob's Widow by April Kihlstrom was published in July 1986 for Signet's Regency Romance line. Drusila Lawford is now a wealthy widow and society wants to believe the worse about this lady, including the handsome Lord Richard Pensley!

Allan Kass illustrates our couple in a small room that is decorated with a hunting theme. Our couple wear riding clothes, so it's appropriate that they are standing inside! While our couple is typical Kass in look and pose, I find the painting in the background--Stubbs?--and the crested stained glass intriguing.

I believe Signet also entitled another of their regencies "The Nabob's Widow". Usually they were careful about not reusing titles!
