The Marquess Who Loved Me (2013)
“For one, her head still ached, even though the bruise was smaller than she had expected. It seemed to throb in time with the grating titters of the ladies around her. They hung on Nick’s every word like he was a Hottentot curiosity whose kind they had never seen before. They wouldn’t snub him — only a fool would snub money and a title — but they wouldn’t stop examining him, either.
Which meant, of course, that none of them missed the way he watched her, or the way she ignored him. She shoul...d have flirted like he was any other male, but she was too raw for flirtation. She flirted with Norbury instead. He was amenable to it, but the concerned look in his eyes said he knew what she was doing.
So by the time Ellie could take refuge in her bed — perhaps her final night alone, if Nick held true to his plan — she was in no mood for sleep. Not a single word had been said about highwaymen at dinner, but she wasn’t ready to dream about them.MoreLess
