Loving a Lost Lord (2009)
“Adam wasn’t surprised to see Mariah rise to her feet with unseemly swiftness. “I will leave you gentlemen to your port,” she said brightly.
As Adam poured a glass, Kirkland asked her, “Is it Ballard port? That would be from the firm run by the other old school friend we spoke of earlier. Very good it is, too.”
“I really don’t know.” Mariah edged toward the door. “Someone else filled the decanter.”
“I’m sure we’ll manage.” Adam slid the decanter to Kirkland. “We shall see you later in the drawing room.” He glanced at Mariah, trying to convey that he fully understood her desire to escape her guests for a while.
Unfortunately, Masterson also got to his feet. “The light lingers so long this far north. I’d like to see the grounds if you’re willing to guide me, Miss Clarke.”
She did not look enthralled but was too polite to refuse. “I would be happy to show you some of the property,” she said. “Just let me get a shawl.”
She returned wrapped in her grandmother’s shawl despite its shabbiness.
