Bath, England, Summer 1816
What to do about Mr. Felix Knight—that was the question.
He was a rake and a scoundrel, dashing and dangerous,
handsome and an irritant. And Miss Carina Leonelli was
quite infatuated with him.
Not that she would ever admit such, because despite his
charm, Mr. Knight was not for her.
It wasn’t because he was a servant. Mr. Knight could not
provide the one thing Carina longed for—a home of her own.
That is assuming he would want more than a few kisses.
He was a rake, after all, and no matter how much he may
pursue her, Carina believed he was not serious about forming
a more permanent relationship, so she had rejected him at
every turn.
“You look lovely this evening, Miss Leonelli,
” Knight
whispered in her ear after assisting her from the carriage.
Carina sent him a warning glance from the corner of her
eye. “You, Mr. Knight, are nothing but a rake and your
compliments will not sway me,
” she stated with no concern
that Gaia and Lord Lydell could hear her.
Carina and Gaia had roomed together when they were in
boarding school and had become the best of friends. Then
Carina’s father, an Italian barone, ruined the family by
causing a scandal before he bankrupted them and died
shortly thereafter. It was Gaia’s mother who hired Carina to
be Gaia’s companion while they were still in school. Carina
was able to complete her education and she’d been with Gaia
ever since.
Carina thought that she would find another position as a
companion or perhaps governess after Gaia married the
Marquess of Lydell last winter, but her friend would have
none of that and insisted on Carina remaining in the
household.
Gaia called Carina her friend. Carina called Gaia her
employer, even though they had always been on a first name
basis.
As for Knight, he was the driver, coachman and
sometimes footman to Lord Lydell. Carina suspected that
they were more than employer and servant, but friends
because the two played chess and often shared brandy in the
evening.
She supposed it was no different from her relationship
with Gaia.
However, Knight was an outrageous flirt, and even
though they’d shared many conversations, given their
similar situations within the household and relationships to
their employers, Gaia refused to succumb to his charms.
