Not Always a Saint (2015)
“The Ashton footman presented a silver tray with a card set neatly in the middle. “He’s in the small salon. Will you receive him?”
Jessie took the card, wondering if it was one of the two older gentlemen who had been calling on her assiduously. But they came in the afternoon, not the morning, and eyed each other like wary cats when they visited at the same time.
LORD ROMAYNE. A mere two words that made her pulse jump with an alarming mix of emotions. Her mind had been churning since the near-disastrous visit to Gunter’s the day before, and his lordship had been far too present in her thoughts. It would be easier to say she wasn’t at home, but she owed him too much to hide. “I’ll see him.”

Should she ask Julia or Mariah to join her? But they were both in the nurser...y with their babies, a time of day they loved.MoreLess
