An Escapade And An Engagement (2012)
“That was all. But Milly had the most infectious laugh he’d ever heard. It was what had drawn him to her in the first place. What had drawn many of the younger officers to her father’s billet.
Anyone who’d ever heard that laugh would never forget it. They would take a second look at the shapely and assured young woman at Lady Jayne’s side and perceive beneath the Town bronze the ragged girl with the dirty face who’d been the regiment’s darling.
A shiver of foreboding went down his spine.... Even though most of the men who might have recognised Milly had already been deployed, she could still pose a threat to Lady Jayne’s reputation. It would only take one of the more curious amongst the idlers loafing around the gentlemen’s clubs to investigate his background and discover that he’d been living under the same roof as Milly for over a year. That once he’d moved into Lavenham House he’d had set her up in her own dwelling and given her a generous allowance.MoreLess
