Excerpt Two:
Lady Grace found herself in quite a dilemma. If she accepted Mr. Calshot’s escort into the drawing room, she would by default bring attention to herself simply due to her companion. However, to enter a room full of people on her own had always been frightfully difficult, and to disengage herself from him after he had so kindly rescued her from Higgins, not to mention the man who had shot at her this afternoon would be unbearably rude. Added to that she suspected that Mr. Calshot was a man impossible to refuse. He stood there at the doorway to the drawing room where the rest of the guests were mingling before dinner as if sensing her hesitation, a gentle smile crinkling the corners of his eyes.
She tightened her fingers briefly on his arm . She could feel the warmth and strength under her fingers and shivered slightly.
“Are you cold my lady?” His deep voice reverberated through her touching her core, nearly making her shiver again.
“No, thank you for your concern Mr. Calshot,” she returned, clearing her throat when her first attempt at speech was dry. She knew there was no reason to be frightened as they walked into a crowded drawing room. Whoever it was trying to injure her would not try in such a public location. However, the allure of the man walking next to her was terrifying in its intensity and she felt it stealing through her, even as she wanted to press her body against his.
