The Viscount Always Knocks Twice (Heart Of Enquiry Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
For the third bloody time. “Bless you. Er, again.” Seated to his left at the head of the table, Miss Billings paused in her monologue about bonnets long enough to remark, “I hope you haven’t contracted an ailment, my lord?” “I’m fine.” Or I would be—if someone wasn’t wearing that blasted perfume. He didn’t know where the noxious scent was coming from, but every now and again, it wafted over to him, irritating his nostrils. “Thank you for your concern,” he said curtly. His hostess launched into chatter again. About gloves this time. Egad. Suppressing a sigh, he listened with half an ear. He’d been on edge all evening, and one reason for his disquiet was sitting directly across the table. Miss Kent was acting as if he didn’t exist. When he’d tried to approach her in the drawing room before supper, she’d been as slippery as a lamprey, wriggling her way through the guests, eluding him at every turn. At present, she was polishing off her fish course with gusto, and he’d have found her hearty appetite endearing if she wasn’t simultaneously presenting him with a cold shoulder.
