  "You inherited Halligale, I understand."

  "I did," she replied. Her brother had gifted it not long after his marriage to Sophie Grant. He had wanted her to have a home close to him, but that was all hers. That is came with an abundance of land was equally generous. Her brother was simply the best person she knew.

  "So, we're neighbors. I'm at Bragdon Manor," he continued.

  She stared at him a moment, not having known that. If Lord Hastings was a Bragdon, he was closer than her brother was at Moy Castle. "I did not know you had inherited."

  Pain crossed his lordship's face, and a little of the teasing light dimmed in his eyes. "I inherited the estate after my brother passed."

  "I'm sorry for your loss," she said, automatically reaching out and touching his arm. The moment she did, she knew if for the mistake it was. Shock rippled up her arm, a bolt of some kind she'd never experienced before. Beth stepped back, breaking her hold.

  "Thank you. My brother was a good man if not ruled a little by vices that others sought to their advantage." His lordship seemed to shake off his melancholy and turned, watching her. He had dark eyes, almost gray, the blue was so stormy. A very handsome man and one who knew that fact very well.

  "We shall see each other often then," she said, sipping her champagne and willing her heart to stop beating fast in her chest. He was merely a man. A gentleman like no other. There was no reason her stomach would be all aflutter with him at her side."

  He picked up her hand, kissing her gloved fingers. His eyes held hers, and again her skin prickled in awareness. Oh, dear.

  "I have traveled all the way from England, Lady Elizabeth. I intend to see you as much as you will allow." With a wicked grin, he turned and strode off into the throng of guests, leaving her to watch him. Her gaze slid over his back before dipping lower. Well, it was not only his eyes that were handsome, and what did he mean by his words? For the first time since her debut ball, excitement fluttered in her soul. Finally, perhaps this year, she would find love and have a marriage as strong and as sweet as her brother had found.

  Maybe rakes did make the best husbands after all.
