The Beginning:

Arewwwwwww! The unholy complaint filled the carriage.

"You should have left that creature back in Kempton, Miss Tempest," Mrs. Bagley-Butterton complained for about the hundredth time."

Page 56:

"Both men stared at her, and Louisa knew that even the argument that their "French" cook wasn't anything more than a naval deserter and a thief would hardly remedy the situation."

From Elizabeth Boyle's latest release The Viscount Who Lived Down the Lane. This is the latest book in her Rhymes With Love series.
