A Hint of Scandal (2012)
“She could not recall her emotions ever being in such a state of confusion. Life at Autley was even worse than she had feared it would be. There was nothing to do! Back home she had run her father’s house just as she pleased, she thought dismally as she sat down in a petit-point-covered chair.
Right now, if she were back at Mabry Green, she would be helping her aunt plan the spring garden party that took place on the lawns of Penninghurst Park every year.
It had been apparent to her from the mom...ent of her arrival that Autley was run with formal precision; the servants took care of even the smallest task. Mealtimes never deviated from a centuries-old schedule. Even some servants had servants to wait upon them, she had learned to her amazement. So on top of her confusion and distress over the forced marriage between herself and the duke, Bella was growing increasingly bored. And now, to her further distress, the duke was gone from Autley again.
Not that she had seen much of him since their encounter in his library.MoreLess
