when old secrets are revealed can their new love survive?
Excerpt:
Lady
Grace found herself in quite a dilemma. If she accepted
Mr. Calshot’s escort into the drawing room, she would by default
bring attention to herself simply due to her companion. However, to enter
a room full of people on her own had always been frightfully difficult, and to
disengage herself from him after he had so kindly rescued her
from Higgins, not to mention the man who had shot at her this afternoon
would be unbearably rude. Added to that she suspected that
Mr. Calshot was a man impossible to refuse. He stood
there at the doorway to the drawing room where the rest of the guests were
mingling before dinner as if sensing her hesitation, a gentle smile
crinkling the corners of his eyes.
She tightened
her fingers briefly on his arm . She could feel the warmth and
strength under her fingers and shivered slightly.
“Are
you cold my lady?” His deep voice reverberated through her touching her core,
nearly making her shiver again.
“No,
thank you for your concern Mr. Calshot,” she returned, clearing her throat
when her first attempt at speech was dry. She knew there was no reason to
be frightened as they walked into a crowded drawing room. Whoever it was
trying to injure her would not try in such a public location. However,
the allure of the man walking next to her was terrifying in its intensity and
she felt it stealing through her, even as she wanted to press her
body against his.
