The Duke's Undoing (Three Rogues And Their Ladies) - Plot & Excerpts
Used to having whatever he wanted when he wanted it, he had not learned much restraint in his life. He called at Blossom House most days to check on the progress that the ladies there were making with the plans for the benefit ball. Elise was still shy about her face, however, for she kept to her room for the next three weeks. Her aunt said that she had never seen her niece so discouraged. Her face was taking a long time to heal. According to Lady Clarice, once it had finished peeling, it was as red as a tomato. The new skin was shiny, and Elise was determined to keep to her room until she looked normal enough to conceal the worst of the damage with cosmetics. They corresponded, as though they were in different parts of the country. Dearest Elise: We are making good progress in the matter of stirring up interest for the benefit ball. It is the latest on dit among the ton! I have not even confided in Somerset what the lottery will be, for fear he might let it out while in his cups.
