The Blue Drawing Room (Regency Rendezvous Book 2)
Page 19
Lanora shook her head as she entered her room. She began undressing, able to do most of it herself. Mrs. Smith wore the same undergarments as Lanora did, since no one would ever see them to know they were too fine for a widow who spent all her extra funds feeding the poor.
She still hadn’t met Lord William, and no longer cared to. One look at him across a ballroom had convinced Lanora the years with Mr. Darington hadn’t done him any good. Lord William exuded rakishness. Tousled brown hair, flecked with gold by candlelight. A long, lean frame clad somehow both impeccably and carelessly. His crooked smile, always touched with indolence. Glinting hazel eyes that changed color with his mood.
Grace’s footsteps sounded in the hall. Lanora shook her head to dispel visions of Lord William and resumed undressing. Handsome though he was, it had taken only one look for her to be sure she had no care for Lord William’s hazel eyes, or his moods. On top of his discernable rakishness, his name appeared in the scandal sheets with the consistency of the sunrise. Lanora wasn’t in London on the hunt for a husband, or even friends. If she ever did want either, Lord William Greydrake was the last man in England she’d choose.
