An Honorable Wish (A Lady's Wish 2) - Plot & Excerpts
The guests had stayed, danced, and drunk, waiting for scraps of the scandal like vultures. Juliet had stood by his side while everyone drank to their engagement, her face as brittle as the glass she held in her hand. She’d escaped him after their final dance. He hadn’t seen her since. Nathaniel was shooting daggers at him. Anne glared at him as well. Lady Danford just looked disappointed. Tony felt lower than a snake. He needed to talk to Juliet. He had to make her understand that this wasn’t what she thought. Or was it? He’d gambled against a man and won his estate, effectively ruining him. Just as Juliet’s father had ruined his own. He’d left a man destitute, as Sir John had abandoned his sisters. If he hadn’t been such a coward, he wouldn’t be in this position. He should have been honest from the beginning. Juliet had been concerned about his gambling when he first came home. Even in Town, she had always been nagging him about haunting the hells. Clearly, she had been wounded by her brother’s actions.
