Duke with a Duchess (Wicked Dukes Society #5)

Sybil stared at her bleak reflection in the looking glass and took a deep breath, holding it in her lungs as she struggled to calm the fit of nerves that came to life so swiftly within her.

Her lady’s maid had helped her out of the elegant dress she had worn to dinner and into a night rail that was modest and laden with buttons, an equally circumspect dressing gown buttoned atop the unflattering raiment.

Her hair was plaited into a simple braid.

All the efforts she had made to present herself in an alluring fashion during the earlier days of the house party were at an end. She was no longer attempting to attract a lover, even if the Duke of Kingham had proven a most lively and entertaining dinner partner earlier.
