Unconventional Series Collection - Plot & Excerpts
If she had one conceit, it was her hair. She knew her looks always drew attention and had often heard herself described as exotically beautiful, but life had hardened her to those kinds of compliments. She did however, enjoy brushing and caring for her hair. Rarely did anyone see its glory because she kept it covered under bonnets or hats and rolled into a bun. Laying her brush aside and avoiding a glance into her own eyes in the mirror, something she was wont to do because of the pain always reflected back, she reached for the letter that had arrived that morning. Opening the expensively crisp paper, she read again the strange reply to her advertisement. Written in beautiful script and signed by Luke Samson, she wondered about a man who could write such heartfelt words. Of course, maybe they weren't heartfelt. Maybe he was a master of manipulation like all the other men in her life, except her father, had been. Did she want to respond to his letter? Her intelligence told her no, but her curiosity gained a foothold over her actions.
