Bedding Lord Ned (2012)
“—Venus’s Love Notes Ellie waited until the sound of Ned’s heels on the wooden floor had completely died away. He’d taken the staircase that was the most direct path to the bedroom floor; she wanted to be certain he was gone before she followed.
“Oh, Ned,” she whispered. She leaned her head against the cool window again. He had no reason to feel guilty; there’d been nothing he could have done to save Cicely. Everyone knew that; even the high-priced London accoucheur he’d brought to Greycliff...e to help Mrs. Lexton, the local midwife, had agreed. No one blamed him except himself—well, and perhaps Cicely’s mother and Percy. But surely even they’d realized, once their grief had lessened, that Cicely’s death was simply a tragic accident. Sometimes the cord got wrapped around a baby’s neck; sometimes a mother hemorrhaged.
There were many risks a woman took to have a child, but women were willing to take them. Ellie would be willing, especially to have Ned’s baby.MoreLess
