A Most Unusual Mistress (Rogue Scandals) - Plot & Excerpts
Neither was welcome. The music because Ash was nowhere near to rescue her and dance with her; her mama because she was an irritant. Someone who had all but ignored her for several years unless she required something. The woman had come to her most recently for pin money, as her allowance, she declared, was pitiful. Adriana knew this to be untrue, but her mama had never learned the art of apportioning. After Adriana had denied her yet another substantial sum to tide me over, my love, knowing it would neither be returned nor used wisely, their interactions had been minimal. Indeed, for the last several months, nonexistent. All thankfully accepted and enjoyed by Riana. She and her mama were chalk and cheese; best kept apart, something Riana strived to keep in place. Until this night.“Adriana! How ungainly, I despair of you. How clumsy can you get?”“Oh, a lot worse, mama, I assure you,” Adriana retorted, shushing Arabella—who was, she thought, about to jump to her defense—under her breath and giving her a warning glare.
