An Escapade And An Engagement (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
She lifted her chin as a footman held out a chair for her and took her place at the table. He would thank her one day. She just had to have the determination to ride out his annoyance and stick to her guns. Why did one talk about sticking to guns? She had often wondered. It sounded like such an absurd thing to do. Guns recoiled after being fired, and if one stuck to them surely one would be flung about most uncomfortably? She would ask him to explain it to her one day. Since he had been in the army for such a long time he was bound to know what the expression really meant. She lifted her head to look at him, anticipating the conversation, and was shocked by the chill with which he met her gaze. Jolted by the searing pain that shot through her on receipt of that look, she lowered her eyes to her place setting. What if he never forgave her for meddling in his search for the perfect bride? He was the one person, apart from Milly, with whom she had ever been able to converse openly.
