The Redemption of a Dissolute Earl
“Perkins, her coachman, tried to fix the busted wheel of the carriage. This entire day had been bad and had only gotten worse. She’d not slept one wink between worrying about her father and worrying that Lord Salisbury would never forgive her for sending him a letter saying she was not going to marry him.
Just because she did not love him did not mean she didn’t want to be friends, nor did she want the man as an enemy. She suspected Lord Salisbury could be a powerful enemy.
Surely he would understand her need to leave for Danby in all haste. She hoped he had received her letter in plenty of time, and not stood for hours waiting for her to appear for their wedding.
