A Sense of Belonging

by Wendy Soliman

  ‘I could not have done this without you,’ he said, standing also, taking her hand and kissing the back of it.

  ‘Then it’s very fortunate that I was here,’ she said, snatching her hand back, wishing he wouldn’t keep kissing her. It muddled her thinking and made her want…well, the unattainable.

  ‘And now you seem to have taken responsibility for my sisters as well as Grandmamma. I hope you do not expect an increase in your salary,’ he added in a teasing tone.

  ‘Ah, dash it all, you have seen through my stratagem,’ she said, laughing over her shoulder at him as she left the room.

  The End

  Look out for the second book in the Perceptions series

  A Sense of Purpose

  In which Flora discovers more about her latent powers and becomes more intimately involved in the affairs of Luke and his siblings

  About the Author

  I was brought up on the Isle of Wight, off the Hampshire coast of southern England, surrounded by castles, stately homes and history at every turn. I must have unwittingly absorbed the historic atmosphere because I write mostly about bygone days, living vicariously alongside my strong heroes and independently-minded heroines.

  When not letting my imagination flow over a hot keyboard I spend my time walking my beloved dog – a rescued mutt of indeterminate pedigree – and make half-hearted efforts to hold back the years through regular visits to the gym.
