David Greyle, the fourth Earl of Ingraham, looked up from his overcrowded desk to regard his sister’s trim and fashionable form. He had just returned from Paris. The blasted war was over, thank the heavens. But catching up with all the business correspondence waiting for him at home after six months abroad was, most assuredly, going to be the very devil.
He frowned. Wh...at had Petunia been talking about? He took a stab at the obvious. “You look a rare sight, Pet. You always do. Marriage agrees with you.”
