Brief Excerpt:
The evening had
already been harrowing with the abduction of her dearest friend from that very
ballroom mere moments earlier, but it already felt like eons. After she had
left it in the Duke of Wrentham’s hands there had been nothing she could do to
help. She had no desire to stand about wringing her hands so she was making
every effort to remain calm, keeping up appearances in order to prevent Rose’s
absence from becoming common knowledge, in an effort to preserve her
reputation. The last thing Elizabeth needed was to be seen conversing with the
controversial earl. But despite every instinct shrieking for her to leave the
man’s presence on the instant, she forced herself to meet his eye as she bade
him good night.
His handsome
face always made her blink. Well defined, with a sharp jaw and angular cheekbones.
His skin looked smooth, as though he had just left the ministrations of his
valet. His wide set eyes were a unique color, somewhere between blue and green,
and leant an air of watchful intelligence to his beauty. She wondered if he
found it amusing to be constantly faced with wide-eyed women or if he had
become immune to it. Perhaps he took it as his due, Elizabeth thought absently,
before she refocused her attention. She ought to be keeping her wits about her.
Exhaustion from the evening’s turmoil was dulling her senses.
