Blood For Ink (The Scarlet Plumiere Series #1) - Plot & Excerpts
No doubt the sight of her would upset him further, so she dared not try to escape the room. Northwick and Ashmoore would arrive any moment to collect them for their promised shopping excursion, but her father seemed to be slipping quickly toward a very bad day. She would have to beg off, of course, but she needed to get out of the room in order to do so. She prayed her father forgot the appointment altogether.

Men’s voices. “Who is that now?” She hoped her father was not referring to her. Over her shoulder, she called, “I will just go see, shall I?” She closed the door behind her and ran, calming herself before stepping into the drawing room. Both men ignored the warm fire as if they were unaware their noses and ears were red from the cold morning. “Good morning, gentlemen.” She moved into the room but avoided getting too near.
