Loretta Chase - The Devil's Delilah - Plot & Excerpts
"Isn't that typical?" she muttered. "I make a mess of everything."Her father looked up from his sporting journal. The two were spending a few quiet hours together while Lady Potterby visited an ailing neighbour, and they were abnormally quiet. Normally, Delilah and her father could converse endlessly. Today she was unable to find any entertaining topic because yesterday's garden episode preyed on her mind.She still could not believe that she, Delilah Desmond, had very nearly succumbed to the clumsy embrace of the provoking, stodgy Mr. Langdon. She had travelled over half the globe with her parents and encountered every sort of scoundrel. She had met with every seductive trick and heard honeyed speeches in half a dozen languages. Always she had been immune, observing her pursuers' efforts with the same cool detachment with which she studied her cards and bluffed her way to victory over the most cunning Captain Sharps.She could not understand why her instincts had failed her yesterday — and with him, of all people, a muddled, naive book-worm.
