EXCERPT
“Did you tread on my gown?” Viola Stanley, Duchess of Yeadonfell, whirled on her footman, Nelson.
He was taken aback and instantly reddened.
Viola read his horror at being called out in public here on the stoop of her London townhouse, in front of the dowager and everyone else in the courtyard who were leaving for the same ball.
“No-no, your grace. I would never.” His usual composure was completely scattered. His confused gaze met hers, asking, Why are you doing this here? Now?
Then that light, that precious light of adoration in his eyes before he dropped his gaze, abashed at having looked his superior in the eye. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his brow pleated in suffering. He shifted his weight, no doubt growing aroused.
