The Wild Duchess/the Willful Duchess (The Duchess Club book 1)
“Scarlett suspected that it was more of a theatrical claim than a genuine illness but she understood the impulse to withdraw. She had said nothing of her private conversation with Stafford but Scarlett trusted her completely. If there had been a revelation, Tara would have admitted it. No doubt, their debate had ended in a draw.
But today, today she would be on her own and it was liberating.
On her own without a duke in sight.
