Rules For A Lady (A Lady's Lessons, Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Gillian's first view of Lady Allardyce's ballroom was enough to make her lose the last of her courage. Stunning did not begin to describe the dazzling array of the fashionable haut ton arrayed about the room. From diamonds to dandies, they were all there. And she felt as if everyone had turned to inspect the earl's willful ward. Her first response was a sudden urge to grab Stephen's arm and hide in his embrace. But as custom dictated, he was ahead of her on the stairwell, escorting his mother into the ballroom, leaving Gillian to stand alone for a moment at the top of the staircase looking down at the glittering throng. Naturally he could not turn and give her one of his reassuring smiles. Of course, given the strained silence between them after their aborted kiss, a reassuring smile was the last thing she expected from him. So she stood at the top of the stairs alone, fighting the urge to flee. Then, for once, her miserable childhood came to her rescue. If there was one thing the real Amanda had taught her well, it was how to handle the hostile stares of a jealous tabby.
