Top 5 songs for Begging Your Woman Back

 

Vanessa Riley here.

 

Music is a very important part of my writing process and I listened to a lot for my latest release, The Bewildered Bride. Lord Wycliff is love with Ruth Croome, but everything went wrong the last time they were together. Below is his playlist. His mission is to win her back.

 

If I Can’t Have You. This has been my earworm all summer, but it’s perfect for Wycliff. He knows if he has nothing if he can’t have Ruth.

Shawn Mendes – If I Can’t Have You

 

 

Luther. Yes. Luther. What was the question? Yes, Luther Vandross. Not sure of the question, but Luther makes everything good.

Luther Vandross – Love Won’t Let Me Wait

 

Wycliff has some begging to do. He may not have been completely honest the first time around. He’s older and wiser, and he’s coming to Ruth on bended knee.

 

Boys To Men – On Bended Knee

 

Wycliff was away for four years. This wasn’t his doing, but he’s come back, and he’s sorry.

 

Chicago – Hard to Say I’m Sorry

 

And lastly, when all is said and done, he’s not ready to give her up. He believes he and Ruth are meant to be. So this song is perfect, cause what’s a list without a Rick Roll. 

 

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

 

The Bewildered Bride 

 

Wycliff wants nothing short of annihilation of his enemies and Ruth’s surrender in his arms.

 

 

Ruth Croome, a Blackamoor heiress, was supposed to get married in a gorgeous wedding gown, made from her father’s exquisite fabrics. Instead, they eloped to Gretna Green and upon returning, their carriage was beset by highwaymen and she witnessed the murder of her new husband. Now, four years later, with a child, she wants to move on with her life. A marriage of convenience will do. Ruth already had a love for the ages.

Adam Wilky is really the heir to the Wycliff barony—which he never told Ruth. Too much danger. So many secrets. When he was nearly beaten to death and sold into impressment, he thought Ruth had died, too. Ready for revenge, he finally returns and discovers Ruth alive—with a son who could only be his—and she is furious to discover he lied to her. Now it’ll take more than remembered passion if he hopes to win his reluctant wife back…
