Winning Miss Wakefield: The Wallflower Wedding Series - Plot & Excerpts
“I fear exhaustion from the day’s long journey has swept over me quite suddenly. Please forgive me, but I must retire.” “I am too tired for parlor games as well,” Sophie said and made her excuses to retire early. They both stood. So did Lord Knightswold and then Mrs. Pearce. Merribeth watched as the widow slipped her arm through his and sidled closer. A rise of temper churned in her veins like a tempest. It was so unexpected and overwhelming that she didn’t trust herself to speak another word. Instead, she merely turned and walked through the doors beside her aunt. “Do not take anything Mrs. Pearce said to heart and let her spoil your fun,” Sophie said as they mounted the stairs. “She’s merely the type who likes to put on a show with her claws. In this venue, her comments are harmless. Besides, it is the woman who sheaths her claws and waits for the perfect opportunity who ends up with the cream from the top of the pail.” Merribeth felt her nails dig into the tender flesh of her palms and thought how lovely it would be to scratch out Daniela’s eyes.
