The Sinner
“Fleur escorted her ten guests to the door in order to have a few private words with some of them.
They took their leave with the same blank-eyed graciousness that had marked their behavior since they arrived. Everyone was pretending not to notice that Fleur’s dress today contrasted starkly with her normal ensembles.
No one had commented upon the fact that her blush, wide-skirted muslin set her apart from their own practical dark hues. The women had refrained from asking what had brought about t...his change in her.
That was because they didn’t need to. As they filed down to the street, the reason drove up in a handsome open landau. Their critical eyes took in the elegant carriage and the dashing, beautiful man holding the reins.
Fleur read their minds. The unspoken consensus in this circle of society was obvious. Dante Duclairc, the wastrel and libertine, had turned Fleur Monley’s head and was in the process of ruining her completely. The implications for her charitable work had coerced them to develop a schedule for building the school.MoreLess
