Two Shades of Seduction
“She really wished she was still at Quentin’s side, but a lock of hair had fallen down onto her shoulder and needed tending to.
An opening at the mirror appeared, and she quickly moved forward to adjust her hair. Although Rose was a quick learner, her maid had yet to master her hairdressing skills. Sophie grimaced at her reflection as she attempted to fix her hair.
Behind her, she saw a small group of women studying her with interest, their soft whispers and laughter made her believe she was the... topic of their conversation. When she met the gaze of one of the ladies, the woman immediately glanced away, which only served to confirm Sophie’s fears.
