Emerald Ecstasy (2013)
“Chloe’s slender hand extended the fragile china cup to Lianne.
“Merci,” Lianne said and took a sip of the warm brew though she could barely swallow it. She wondered how she sat so calmly across from her husband’s mistress with Philippe’s son playing in the next room.
Chloe’s gentle beauty impressed Lianne, and the surprise she knew the woman must feel at seeing her was hidden behind solemn but beautiful brown eyes. Lianne hadn’t known what to expect when she disembarked in this section ...of town where small cottages housed quadroons and their children as they waited for men like Philippe to put in an appearance.
She found Chloe’s house with little trouble because the expensive carriage was parked alongside the cottage. When Lianne’s knock brought Chloe to the door, Lianne could barely speak. But Chloe had smiled and said, “Madame Marchand, how nice to meet you at last.”
Though Chloe was Philippe’s mistress and probably still slept with him on his trips into the city, Lianne didn’t dislike her.MoreLess
