Miss Frazer's Adventure (2016)
“Perhaps she should have been more insistent that she be allowed to enjoy her adventure alone, she acknowledged ruefully. No, not perhaps. Definitely, she should have been more insistent.
She had been well aware of the danger Luce posed since the moment he had arrived in London. A danger that had become even more perilous over the past few days.
How often since arriving in Brighton had she allowed herself to forget that Luce was only with her for her dowry? How often had she caught herself cover...tly studying his handsome countenance and magnificent form? How often had they laughed together as if they were truly friends?
How often had she longed to lean forward and press her lips to his?

Precisely the sort of gentleman any maiden would be in danger of tumbling irrevocably in love with.
It was that realization that had belatedly prompted her determination to return to London.MoreLess
