BACK TO SPOTLIGHT
VISCOUNT MONDEVALE
Extremely wealthy, handsome, and personable, Viscount
Mondevale, at 25, was unquestionably the season’s best
catches.
At three
o’clock Viscount Mondevale arrived. Elizabeth was with him
in the yellow salon. He walked in, glanced around the
room, then took her hands in his and smiled warmly into
her eyes. “The answer is yes, isn’t it?” he said, but it
was more of a statement than a question.
“You’ve
already spoken with my brother?” Elizabeth said in
surprise.
“No I
haven’t”
“Then
how sis you know the answer is yes?” she asked, smiling
and mystified.
“Because,” he said, “the ever-present, eagle-eyed Miss
Lucinda Throckmorton-Jones is absent from your side for
the first time in a month!” He pressed a brief kiss to her
forehead, which caught her off-guard, and she blushed. “Do
you have any idea how beautiful you are?” he asked.
“You’re enchanting, “ he whispered.
