The Love Match (Entangled Scandalous) - Plot & Excerpts
As Olivia observed her that night after dinner when they were all gathered in the drawing room—in which the chairs were plump and a nice pale green that matched the walls, so Olivia wasn’t certain why they required updating—Lady Sarah would flirt with Mr. Cross, and then Lord Ashworth, and then go back and do it all again. Obviously, as the daughter of an earl whose finances were rumored to be declining, Lady Sarah was hoping mostly for wealth, but still wanted a title, even if it was a lesser one. Lord Ashworth would be perfect in that regard. But Olivia supposed she viewed Mr. Cross as a challenge and wouldn’t be against making him fall in love with her before she married the baron. If Olivia had been more charmed by Mr. Cross, she might have felt a bit sorry for him. But she hadn’t been charmed. And he was the one who went around breaking female hearts. It would serve him right if someone broke his, in turn. But even with Lady Sarah’s antics, it didn’t take Olivia long to grow bored and start thinking wistfully of the book that awaited her when she retired.
