Society's Most Scandalous Rake (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Her chocolate had grown cold on the bedside chest and the hot water for bathing had cooled in its basin. But she had not stirred. She had no wish ever to leave this room, no wish ever to move again. ‘I think you should read it, Miss Domino,’ the maid dared to suggest, aware that something dreadful had happened, but able only to guess at what the cause might be.

The one who had stopped them in their tracks just a few days ago, then come to the house very early this morning and personally handed her an envelope with strict instructions to place it only in her mistress’s hands. She tried again, this time folding the envelope into Domino’s listless grasp. Then she withdrew, sighing heavily to herself. Left alone, Domino glanced indifferently at the message. She knew its author and she knew that she did not want to read it. But something still impelled her to rip the seal open and scan the few words within.
