A Breath of Scandal: the Reckless Brides
“Will had grave misgivings about the entire proposition. Despite her pledge to do what was right and help Preston, he was deeply suspicious of Miss Cassandra Preston’s motives. If she informed anyone about this clandestine meeting—or any of Preston and his prior clandestine meetings—there would be some sort of hell to pay, and Will reckoned a scandal that would force them into a wedding.
But perhaps that was what Miss Preston—or even Preston herself—wanted. All he wanted was to discharge his... duty—and, if he were honest with himself, assuage his guilt. He might not be able to offer for her himself, but he would leave her free to find happiness where she could. Yet he was deeply conscious that a meeting in Lord Aldridge’s mews could be a trap. One set with the perfect bait—Preston.
And so he would spring the trap early, before it could be properly set.
A cold, damp, enveloping fog settled in, wreathing him in obscurity and muffling his footsteps along the alley.MoreLess
