Excerpt: An Eye for Love
Chapter One
PICCADILLY, LONDON
JULY 1815
Lady Olivia took a breath in an attempt to loosen the tightness that had settled into her chest. Her plans had just met with a complication in the form of Mr. Henry Theodore Branson. The sharp-eyed enquiry agent took notice of every detail. She always felt like she was being laid bare whenever he scrutinized her. He’d probably take one look at her and know she was up to something. “Why did the blasted man have to be here tonight?”
Anne cast her a sidelong glance. “Who are you talking about?”
“Mr. Branson.” Olivia clenched her jaw. To make her escape without him noticing would be near impossible. “He’s going to make things difficult for me.”
“Did you expect him not to attend his own cousin’s ball?” Anne stilled for a moment, then shook her head. “Pray, don’t tell me you’re still going forward with your ill-conceived plans. What if you’re caught rifling about in Lord Colmerstone’s belongings?”
Not surprising that Anne would discourage her. But she would not allow her sister’s misgivings to dissuade her. “I’ll take the necessary precautions to avoid discovery.”
“I don’t like the chance you’re taking with your reputation,” her sister said. “Instead of seeing Mr. Branson as a problem, I think the prudent thing to do is to approach him and hire him to help you find it.”
“You realize what you’re suggesting makes no sense? You, who is always speaking of reason, think I should ask him of all people?”
Anne nodded. “He’d be able to explain his presence more easily if he’s discovered. You, however—”
“He’s not going to believe me, nor want to make enquiries into his cousin.”
“He may. I’ve heard he could use the blunt, and I do believe he’d—”
Olivia held her palm out. “He’d ... what? Pretend to look into the matter objectively?” She scoffed. “It’s better to keep the number of people who know of my missing brooch to a minimum. Besides, I’ve no need to hire him when I’m perfectly capable of searching myself.”
“Perfectly capable.” Anne tapped her fan against her gown. “Now who isn’t making sense? Imagine the scandal if you’re caught. A piece of jewelry isn’t worth the risk.”
“How could you say that so easily?” Grandmama had given Olivia the brooch. She’d been Olivia’s confidant and the one who’d seen her through one of the darkest times of her life. The brooch had been a gift and a reminder to not repeat the mistakes of the past. Anne, who had never been close to their maternal grandmother, would never understand.
