A Lady For A Duke の小説・ストーリー

The only thoughts in my head were those of Pete and how he was going to lose both balance and focus the minute he sets his eyes on me. I had a lacy red slightly below the bum insanely hot dress on with very high silver stiletto heels and of course, lots of silver accessories.

The duke, however, only glanced disinterestedly at the hired help, came to stand behind me and held my gaze in the mirror a second longer than I could bear. Then he marched off.

I tried to turn, but the woman steered me forward again. "Almost

Mel said and chuckled, looking up to see the woman brewing. "Oh.. you're sister to Lady Beatrice. Ha! the face tells it all. Calm but a temptress. Pretenders do the worst....they say." The woman retort to have Melinda move forward but was grabbed by the Duke of Nalish. "Alright now Ladies. Is there something you want to tell me, Councilwoman Sophie?
