Lady Joanna Mabry looked down the corridor to the left and the right
before slipping into the Duke of Northwick’s library. He had to be the most
antiquated, arrogant, conceited, insufferable, condescending—no, that was
wrong. She quietly closed the door and stared at it, her burgundy-colored
dress swishing with her quick turn. She needed to think alphabetically.
Belinda said the best way to calm her temper was to distract her mind by
using the alphabet. That meant the Duke of Northwick was the most
antiquated, arrogant, conceited, condescending, insufferable man she had
met since her debut four years ago. Though there was that vicar when she
was barely past ten, but that was before she’d been fully enlightened into
the great breadth of knowledge that was so easily accessed by the male
gender.
Turning around to see what books, if any, the duke might have to her
liking, her breath caught. She widened her eyes in awe. The large room was
lined with books. Not even a bust of Caesar interrupted the pattern of
leatherbound volumes. She inhaled slowly, letting her eyes close for a
moment as the strong scent of leather, wood polish, and a faint whiff of
something else filled her nostrils. Was that bergamot? Citrus? Opening her
eyes again, she let her gaze feast upon shelf after shelf, wall after wall,
covered with tomes of knowledge.
As her gaze rose, her throat closed.
How could this be? How could the Duke of Northwick, a man with such
outdated opinions, possess a two-story personal library, a proverbial oasis
of wisdom, a sanctuary for the human mind? She stepped away from the
door, trying to comprehend the wonder before her. How was she to choose?
Turning to the closest book case, she scanned the titles as she walked along
it, her fingertips gliding lightly over the leather bindings as if they were
delicate objects likely to break.
