Excerpt:
The earl turned his head. Their gazes locked. For a moment
she was privy to his rage and stark pain. Then his lids closed, his fingers
spread, and his shoulders lifted with a huge breath.
She moved forward. His eyes, when he opened them, were
neither green nor brown nor blue, but an intriguing blend of all three, putting
her in mind of the colors of a clear stream. The raw emotion she’d glimpsed was
gone. A composed man stood before her. A man lauded for clear-thinking
leadership, whose parliamentary speeches were quoted in The Times.
“Miss Thorne?”
“Yes, I’m Victoria Thorne. How do you do, your lordship.”
He gave a short nod. He appeared exhausted. Dark smudges
marred the skin below red-rimmed eyes and creases bracketed his wide mouth.
Though fatigue radiated from his face, it didn’t detract from his pronounced
attractiveness, in part bestowed by a fine, straight nose and strong jaw. Thick
auburn hair swept back from a wide forehead.
“My apologies, ma’am. I wouldn’t have chosen such an
introduction to Cheriton Court. I deserve to be relegated to barbarian, but I
hope you’ll withhold judgment.”
“Perhaps you had good reason, sir.” The little bit she’d
overheard made her think it likely.
His jaw bunched. “Yes. Only it’s kept me away from my
brother’s side too long.” He turned toward the door. “Please, come with me. I
need your help.”
