A Marquess for Christmas (Scandalous Seasons book 5)
“She stared down into the white-covered streets below. Perhaps it had been the rather snowy weather to account for it. Or perhaps he’d merely been indulging his small daughter. Or even yet, mayhap he’d merely been teasing Patrina. But the Marquess of Beaufort had never sent ‘round his invitation.
She touched her fingers to the frost-stained window and trailed her nail over the frozen flake upon the cold windowpane. And if she were to be honest with herself in this moment, she could admit to ...an overwhelming sense of disappointment.
