A Gentleman's Promise
“Charlotte stepped from Grillon’s Hotel and breathed in the warm spring air before turning left and heading down Piccadilly. Her father had sent her some funds a few days ago and finally she was wholly independent from her husband.The only blemish on her happiness was that Lord Helsing had not tried to seek her out either. And although Amelia had said he’d asked after her health at engagements she attended, Charlotte, did not understand why he never just asked outright where she was.The memory o...f the lovemaking assailed her and along with it came excitement tinged with hurt.
