Georgiana hid a yawn behind her gloved hand.
She shouldn’t be so bored. She should be gazing adoringly at the young
man who’d approached her and her mother during their walk in the park
and who was now gushing effusively about the lovely weather.
But it had been a long Season. She was exhausted. Thank God it would
soon be over.
Georgiana twisted a smile onto her face as the gentleman turned to her,
beaming. What was his name? Mr…Worsley? Maybe. She truly couldn’t
remember. The many faces of the bachelors who’d expressed interest in her
this Season had begun to merge together into one fortune-hunting facade.
They were all the same. She continued to parade through the marriage
mart year after year in the hopes that one day she might find someone
different, but it was hopeless. When it came to Georgiana Milford, the only
thing men were interested in was her inheritance. Not one of the “potential
husbands” she’d met had ever tried to pry beneath the glittering surface of
the richest heiress in England.
“What do you think, Miss Milford?” Mr. Maybe-Worsley asked.
Oh dear. She hadn’t been listening. She turned to her mother. “What do
you think, Mama?” she asked, cranking her smile up another ten degrees.
Maybe she’d never find someone to spend her life with. Honestly, that
would be far better than giving away her inheritance to someone who would
thrust her aside once he had his hands on her fortune.
“I don’t believe it will rain again, Mr. Webley,” her mother said. “That
spot of rain this morning was exactly what we all needed, but I daresay
those clouds will just blow past and our day will continue to be exquisite.”
Oh, right, Webley. That was his name. Regret flushed through Georgiana
—it wasn’t his fault she hadn’t remembered. But the way he looked at her
—she knew that greedy expression. She’d seen it too many times not to be
able to decipher it. He was exactly like the rest of them.
“I do hope you’re correct, Mrs. Milford.”
“Oh, Eliza, is that you?” someone called in a high-pitched, singsong
voice.
Georgiana looked past Mr. Webley to see a knot of older ladies huddled
farther down the path. One of them was waving at them, gesturing at
Georgiana’s mother.
Thankfully, that was Webley’s cue to go. He bowed to them both, wished
them a good afternoon, and took his leave. As he strode off, Mama
murmured, “Well, what did you think?”
Georgiana gave a careless shrug.
“Oh, Gigi.” Her mother sighed. “I think he was lovely. Very kind and
attentive, and handsome, to boot.”
“Was he?” Georgiana frowned. “I didn’t notice.”
As they approached her mother’s friends, Georgiana craned her neck,
trying to catch a glimpse of Worsley/Webley to confirm his handsomeness,
but he had turned the bend in the path. Instead, her gaze snagged with
another man’s. This man was definitely handsome.
He walked alone, just coming round the bend toward them. His form was
tall and dark, but his ocean-blue eyes pierced straight through her from a
distance.
