The Wagered Heart: Signet Regency Romance (Intermix)
“With quill hovering over the piece of foolscap, Julia felt torn between disappointment and relief that Uncle John and Aunt Beryl would not be coming to Bath as previously planned.
Part of her wanted to pour out her confusion and doubt onto her aunt’s loving shoulder—as she had always done.
The other part of her, the part that was full of lingering resentment and vengeful schemes, knew that her aunt and uncle would insist she return to Chippenham if they had a hint of her behavior with the duke.... The knowledge that they would be terribly disappointed if they knew she had wandered off with the duke in Sydney Gardens caused a hot blush to rise to her cheeks.
With some difficulty, she put her attention back to the letter and wrote a few more lines.
The black clouds that had been rolling into Bath all day had not helped her mood. Normally, she enjoyed a ripping storm. However, today the booming waves of distant thunder set her nerves on edge. As the thrumming sound grew heavier and nearer, the flashes of lightning made her tense and uneasy.MoreLess
