The Duchess of Love (2012)
“Crying was a stupid waste of energy. It made her eyes ache and her head throb.
She sniffed. And her nose run, too, damn it. Of course she didn’t have a handkerchief.
She stopped and took a deep, shuddery breath.
What was the matter with her? She pressed the heels of her hands to her forehead. Had she completely lost her mind? She’d certainly lost her temper. Mr. Valentine had been correct. She had sounded like a fishwife. He must be laughing at her, the silly rustic who’d fallen in love with— O...h, God, she wasn’t in love with the villain, was she?
Her knees folded, and she sat down abruptly on the grass.
She couldn’t be—she’d only just met him. Yes, he was sinfully handsome with his blue eyes and wicked smile and naked—She slapped her hands over her burning cheeks.
He’d haunted her dreams, but it wasn’t just his appearance that attracted her. It was everything about him. Just talking to him—arguing with him more often than not—thrilled her. She was always thinking of him, always wondering what he would say about something, how he would smile … Bah—she’d been building air castles.MoreLess
