My Lady Coward: An Episodic Regency Romance
“ They were married in October. No Society marriage ever took place in October. The weather had already turned cold, a harbinger of the no doubt difficult winter to come. Was it an omen, a sign of ill luck?
Shaking her head, Maria turned away from the window through which she'd been blindly staring, watching the servants load boxes and traveling cases into the carriage waiting out front. The soft rustling of her skirts made a strange counterpoint to the occasional crackle from the fire, a neces...sary luxury on such a chilly morning.
It was silly to believe in such superstitious nonsense. Her marriage was not doomed due to an October wedding or an early chill in the air. No, her marriage suffered the insurmountable odds of unequal birth.
And now her husband had business in the country. His valet was busy packing his master's personal effects for an extended stay. Maria could hear the bustle of activity, the occasional muffled word as Richard directed his servant for this or that item that he couldn't leave behind.MoreLess
