The Fashionable Spy (1992)
“She’d slept poorly, tossing and turning while she puzzled over who might be the masked intruder. There had been a familiarity about that shape, had there not? But it had been so dark, how could she be sure? Yet, had she come marching in with a candle, she might have been harmed, or worse.
Once she slipped a pretty blue muslin day dress over her head, she began to organize and sort her belongings into piles, thinking all the while. She confessed that the sneak thief had not been the only man on ...her mind during the long hours of the night. Sir Edward had loomed there as well.
He was not her enemy. He had a right to all those papers she had seen in his library. If she had revealed what she’d discovered, she would have known sooner! Now she could finish sculpturing his head, then go on to her next real assignment without a backward look—but certainly with regrets. Her mistrust of him had colored her words, her thoughts. How he must feel about a young woman who did the sort of things she did was not something to dwell upon.MoreLess
