“Yes, well, she might not have any interest in him.” Delia shrugged. “She is extremely sought after.”

“How could she not be interested in him?” Indignation rang in Cassie’s voice. “Why, with the possible exception of his reputation, he is an excellent match. In truth, I’m rather surprised no one has snapped him up before now.”

“One could say the very same thing about you. Obviously fate was saving you for one another.” Delia cast her a smug smile.

“You needn’t look at me like that.” Cassie huffed. “Very well, I admit it. I want him. I’ve never wanted a man before, and I want this one. He’s not Lord Perfect, but for whatever reason, I want him. So what am I to do about it?”

Delia laughed. “Obviously love has addled your mind.” She leaned closer to her sister. “My dear Cassandra, you have always been the belle of every ball. I have seen you attract and discard any number of men through the years. You have perfected flirting to a fine art.”

“I fear, my lord, you have me at a disadvantage,” Cassie murmured.

“Now, you simply have to focus all your efforts on one particular man with the express purpose of keeping this one.” Delia settled back and smiled. “Miss Bellingham is of no significance, and Lord Berkley doesn’t stand a chance.”

“It would be something of a challenge.”

“And you’ve never backed away from a challenge.”

“The stakes are exceedingly high.”

“Nothing less than your heart.”

“The risk is enormous.”

“But well worth it. And isn’t risk part and parcel of any,” Delia paused to emphasize her words,

“adventure.”

“I simply do not understand how an intelligent woman with the courage of her convictions and any number of other admirable qualities would want perfection in a man rather than excitement or adventure or the passion inherent in such a life.”
