A Perfect Gentleman (2015)
“Almost every guest suffered from it when they were made known to the guest of honor, who had arrived earlier.
The young and lovely Lady Wellstone was not affected. Gwen wore a thoroughly smug, cat-in-the-cream-pot smile, especially when she introduced Miss Kane to that widowed in-law of her cousin’s who had winkled an invitation out of her.
And Lord Wellstone’s jaws were so tightly clenched— once he’d recovered from his own bout with the malady— after seeing the other gentlemen’s reactions that... he doubted he could unlock them by the time dinner was served.
Ellianne stood between them, her head held high. If she was on exhibit, she’d decided, she would put on a show worthy of her father, a man who owned his own bank. She would also prove herself worthy of her mother, the daughter of a marquess. If the results of such a match did not find favor with these members of the quality, then the devil take them all.
She smiled politely, she curtsied with the correct deference, but she showed no doubts of her own acceptability.MoreLess
