Candice Hern
“Beatrice had left an invitation with the Duchess of Doncaster, and tried to convince herself it was because she could expect a sizable donation to the charity from Her Grace. And that she had included the marquess in the invitation only for the sake of Emily. But if she was perfectly honest with herself, she simply wanted to see him again.
It was not as if she did not encounter him often enough. They'd met at practically every social event she and Emily had attended. Since he now went about... more frequently, he'd caused something of a stir among the ladies of the ton. Beatrice often observed the reaction whenever he entered a room. Handsome, rich, and with aristocratic arrogance oozing from every pore, he was a formidable presence. Women of all ages watched him with interest. Beatrice had begun to worry that Emily might face some stiff competition, as some of those interested ladies had pedigrees longer than her arm. But in the end, she trusted in Emily's determination and the girl's own brand of arrogance to win the day.MoreLess
