  • With
  • utterly
  • nothing,
  • but
  • free
  • time
  • on
  • his
  • hands,
  • Lord
  • Vincent
  • Cardwell,
  • the
  • eighth
  • Duke
  • of
  • Kent,
  • had
  • resolved
  • to
  • leave
  • well
  • enough
  • alone
  • concerning
  • any
  • matters
  • of
  • the
  • heart.
  • As
  • he
  • observed
  • his
  • best
  • friend
  • Lord
  • Jeffery
  • Lumley,
  • the
  • twelfth
  • Earl
  • of
  • Scarborough
  • and
  • Jeffery’s
  • cousin,
  • Lord
  • Alex
  • Lumley
  • pine
  • for
  • women
  • was
  • a
  • sad
  • and
  • laughable
  • case.
  • Thinking
  • that
  • his
  • two
  • close
  • companions
  • would
  • die
  • forlorn
  • and
  • brooding,
  • to
  • see
  • the
  • reason
  • behind
  • their
  • nauseating
  • fixation
  • come
  • forth
  • one
  • after
  • the
  • other. By
  • their
  • turn
  • of
  • event,
  • Lord
  • Cardwell
  • was
  • beyond
  • amazed
  • that
  • his
  • fate
  • altered
  • as
  • theirs
  • did.
  • Undoubtedly,
  • not
  • far
  • from
  • his
  • mind,
  • Lord
  • Cardwell
  • had
  • his
  • heart
  • tucked
  • away
  • for
  • someone,
  • he
  • thought
  • never
  • to
  • encounter
  • ever
  • again.
  • Now
  • years
  • later,
  • he
  • is
  • compelled
  • to
  • confront
  • his
  • fears
  • of
  • rejection
  • or
  • the
  • possibility
  • of
  • hope
  • of
  • having
  • HER. Living
  • in
  • incognito
  • for
  • so
  • many
  • years
  • was
  • not
  • an
  • easy
  • task.
  • But
  • residing
  • with
  • the
  • new
  • family
  • she
  • came
  • to
  • love,
  • and
  • trust
  • gave
  • Lady
  • Jessica
  • Mancini,
  • peace
  • of
  • mind
  • for
  • her
  • and
  • her
  • daughter.
  • Although
  • with
  • that,
  • one
  • probability
  • of
  • her
  • daughter’s
  • father
  • kin
  • coming
  • into
  • their
  • life
  • and
  • snatching
  • her
  • baby
  • girl,
  • was
  • always
  • a
  • real
  • prospect.
  • And
  • even
  • more
  • so,
  • as
  • Lady
  • Mancini
  • encounters
  • an
  • exasperating,
  • peculiar,
  • passionate
  • individual
  • from
  • her
  • youth.
  • That
  • made
  • her
  • almost
  • capitulate
  • to
  • his
  • will.
  • Fearing
  • the
  • worst,
  • Lady
  • Mancini
  • would
  • do
  • anything
  • to
  • safeguard
  • her
  • daughter
  • from
  • her
  • father’s
  • family.
  • Even
  • if
  • it
  • meant
  • running
  • away
  • from
  • the
  • only
  • family
  • and
  • man,
  • she
  • might
  • ever love.
