The Lost Duke of Wyndham
“It had not been easy; the castle boasted two separate libraries, and each must have held five hundred volumes at least. But art books, he noticed, tended to be oversized, so he was able to make his task a bit easier by searching out the sections with the tallest spines. He pulled out these books, perused them and, after some trial and error, found what he was looking for.
He didn’t particularly wish to remain in the library, however; he’d always found it oppressive to be surrounded by so many books. So he’d gathered up those that looked the most interesting and took them to his new favorite room—the cream and gold drawing room at the back of the castle.
Grace’s room. He would never be able to think of it as anything else.
It was to this room that he retreated after his embarrassing encounter with Grace in the great hall. He did not like to lose his temper; to be more precise, he loathed it.
He sat there for hours, tucked into place at a reading table, occasionally rising to stretch his legs.
