An Affair Most Wicked
“You haven’t given up on the handsome marquess, I hope. Have you become better acquainted with him yet? I am anxiously awaiting more news.
Adele Clara woke to the sound of a knock at her door. She grumbled, rolled over onto her back in her huge bed, and opened her eyes.

Clara smiled and waved Sophia in. “I need to talk to you.”
