Secrets of a Runaway Bride
“She and Frances stood in the corner of the Roths’ ballroom. Annie had just finished telling her friend the details of her encounter with Lord Ashbourne in the library, minus the small matter of their (ahem, second) kiss.
“I’m telling you,” Annie said. “It simply makes no sense. The man is like the statue of David. Made of stone. I just cannot imagine him ever deigning to grace a mere mortal with his earthly presence. I cannot fathom who he would make a fool of himself over.”
Frances sighed. “Wh...oever the woman from Lord Ashbourne’s past was, she had to be a complete idiot. Only a fool would turn down David … or Jordan Holloway.”
Annie snorted. “Perhaps it was because he’s rude, arrogant, controlling—” But even as she said the words, her mind was betraying her with thoughts of their kiss in the library. She couldn’t even summon anger at his having called her a brat.
She hated to admit it but he was right. She had been behaving like one.
