Bound By Temptation (2010)
“She could not remember having lived through a worse night. The night after Michael had died had been a nightmare, but there had been an emotional numbness that had blocked her from the worst of reality.
Last night had not been like that. If anything, the world had moved slower, every detail clear. There had been no pointed comment, no cut direct, but everyone had given her that second glance or moved to avoid contact with her. Judgment might not have been rendered, but it was clearly not far of...f.
She had lived on the edge of scandal for years, and had thought she could handle it with grace. There was, however, a great difference between almost a scandal and being caught in the thick of it.
And her pregnancy was not even known. There would be no way she could keep the child with her now. Her hand dropped to her stomach. She still could not feel the baby move within her, but she was ever more conscious of its presence.
She needed to act for both of them.
And then there was Robert. The date of his wedding to Jennie was finally set and Lord Darnell seemed pleased.MoreLess
