Deceived Read online

  Juliet explored the lady’s face, saw the earnestness there. Then she glanced at her father and saw the flicker of hope in his stare, not just for her, but for himself.

  She sighed. “I-oh, very well. You are impossible to refuse.”

  Lady Woodley nodded once before she drew Juliet in for an unexpected but warm hug. “My children tell me that constantly! Oh, I am so pleased that you will do this. Now you must hurry. Miss Wilcox expects you almost directly. And I will send all the details along to you before Gabriel and I leave for London tomorrow.”

  Juliet stiffened at the mention of his name. A reminder of what she would be walking into when she joined Lady Woodley. But then, he would be staying at his own home. And perhaps he would simply be too busy to call overly much.

  She would just have to hope that would be true. Otherwise, it could be a very long visit, indeed.
