Miss Bannerman And the Duke (2011)
“The last thing he wanted to do was to give her the impression he had anything other than the mildest interest in her as a woman. She was scarcely out of the schoolroom, far too young to be frightened by such things. Had he not already overstepped the mark by kissing her?
Time enough—when they had been married a while—to gently introduce her to the pleasures of the marriage bed. Although worldly in some ways, in this matter she was very much an innocent. He must treat her as he would his nie...ce and not alarm her in any way.
He glanced down; she was walking proudly at his side, every inch a duchess in waiting. She had spent her life being compared unfavourably to her sister; from now on things would be different. She would be treated with respect, admired and feted by all who met her. Why, within a few weeks she could be exactly the bride he had always wanted: beautiful, intelligent and obedient to his wishes. He would not complicate matters by showing her unwanted affection.MoreLess
