Summary
Kate did not know what it said about her, that she could be found in the same compromising position twice in her life.
The first time this had happened, six years ago, she had been a girl on the cusp of womanhood, too young to understand the intricacies of reputation, but old enough to know the taste of humiliation. It had been a scandal narrowly avoided only by the apathy of those who might have cared. Her father was already gone, leaving her family adrift. Her mother, hollowed out by grief, had neither the strength nor the will to intervene.
No one had called for a duel then. No one had called for anything. Kate had patched up her pride as best she could and carried on, for there was nothing else to do.
But this time, things were different.

Summary
Lord Gloucester’s hand rested lightly on her waist as they moved through the steps of the quadrille. He was handsome enough: tall, broad-shouldered, with a sharp jawline that seemed crafted specifically to win the favour of discerning mamas. His conversation was pleasant too, peppered with the occasional wry comment that might have made her laugh, had her thoughts not been so elsewhere.
He was everything a woman of her situation ought to want. An earl. Wealthy beyond belief. Accepting his proposal—should he ever offer it—would finish all their financial worries in one sweeping gesture.
And yet, as Lord Gloucester guided her through another turn, Kate’s heart remained infuriatingly still. He didn’t make her pulse race or her breath catch. He didn’t make her stomach twist into nervous, wonderful knots. He didn’t—
He didn’t look at her the way Anthony was looking at her now.
