A Rake’s Guide To Seduction (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
A few days of rain kept the party housebound, and someone always seemed to be nearby when she got up her nerve to discuss that topic: why he would want to persuade her to marry him. Celia couldn’t help but think she was a fairly ordinary woman, even before one considered how many more beautiful and sophisticated women Anthony must have known and could have pursued. She didn’t want him to pursue someone else, of course. She wanted to be the one he wanted above all others. But she was afraid of disappointing him, as she had clearly disappointed Bertie, and Celia thought she would rather have her heart crushed now than later. The fact that Anthony was so charmingly self-deprecating and evasive in their conversation in the boat, when she had tried to ask what he saw in her, only made her wonder more. He still paid her attentions, although in more subtle ways. A tiny boat, folded of silver tissue paper, was on her breakfast tray one morning.
