Tempting the Reclusive Duke (Scandalous Dukes #1)

Chapter 18 #5

Dearest Eveline,

Your brother has told me of your Manchester position. While I confess I would prefer to see you respectably settled closer to home, I understand your need for independence. Your father would be proud of your determination, if likely also appalled at your stubbornness.

I enclose a small token to help with travel expenses. Use it wisely.

Your loving Mother
