London society is so much more complicated than I could
ever
have known! Every night is a different ball or assembly,
and
a different swirl of glittering jewels and rustling gowns.
Though I fear I am making social blunders left and right I
am having some measure of success in my (or rather,
Mother's) objective. Mother is beside herself with glee at
the attentions I have been receiving from a few gentlemen
she finds supremely suitable as husband material.
But my dearest sister, it is so hard for me to even look at
any gentleman but a certain duke, who, if I may confess,
makes my heart beat so that I fear it can be seen across a
ballroom. He is James Langdon, the Duke of Wentworth, and
though I may sound dramatic, he makes me feel as no man
ever
has before.
But I must push these feelings away. I sometimes hear
whispers about his dark past, and he is quietly called the
Dangerous Duke. Oh Clara! I am secretly overjoyed that he
may love me, and at the same time terrified of his
attentions. I have waited so long for my true love, and now
I must resist him to protect my heart.
