The Affair (Entangled Scandalous) - Plot & Excerpts
Elizabeth’s mother, Lady Middleton, hissed in her ear, eyes narrowing at a flash of black tails on the opposite side of the crush. The family was attending the popular Fairchild ball that evening. Lady Middleton, Elizabeth, and her two younger sisters stood near the refreshment table looking on as other guests danced a quadrille, weaving and turning under the chandeliers. The ladies’ best jewels glittered in the candlelight, and the gentlemen looked elegant and understated in their dark evening attire. Elizabeth’s hands clenched in the skirt of her poppy-red dress at Thornhill’s name. Not her husband, she had to remind herself through a sudden rush of numbness. But her husband’s cousin, the new earl, returned from his travels. In three years of marriage, Elizabeth hadn’t succeeded in producing an heir…or in having any children, for that matter. This man, whom she hadn’t seen in what felt like a lifetime, now bore her late husband’s title.
