The Seduction of Lord Stone by Anna Campbell

She was neat and efficient in her movements, unlike Caroline who tended to gesticulate when something caught her attention. While Caroline was this afternoon’s hostess, habit-and good sense-saw Fenella dispensing refreshments. “You’re out of sorts today, Caro,” Fenella, Lady Deerham, said softly from where she presided over the tea table. She sighed heavily and flattened one palm on the cold glass, wondering if there would always be a barrier between her and freedom. The bitter weather reflected the chill inside Caroline, Lady Beaumont the endless fear that she sacrificed her youth to stultifying convention. Even inside, the winter air kept its edge. Leafless trees, gray skies, people scurrying past wrapped up beyond recognition as they rushed to be indoors again. Outside the opulent drawing room, fashionable Grosvenor Square presented a bleak view. The world didn’t expect a widow to be bored to the point of throwing a brick through a window, just to shatter the endless monotony of her prescribed year of mourning. Thanks to Ann, Christine and Sharon for going above and beyond.Įxcerpt: Tempting Mr. Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.
