Games in a Ballroomby Jentry FlintRelease date: May 3, 2022
"It is as you said," Emerson began. "Fighting will solve nothing. Valencourt has shown us his hand-more than his hand. He is hiding something darker than we know. I saw it in his eyes after I baited him about the rumor. He is desperate enough to disregard all honor in order to protect it. And now I know what I must do."
Olivia is being forced to be someone she truly doesn't want to be. Her father is trying to raise his status in the community by her marrying well and won't just settle for anyone. Olivia is afraid of her father and is much more comfortable when he is not around. She would like to be free to make choices for herself.
Olivia's father is title hungry. As they are not titled themselves but come into money from trade. He does everything in his power to match her with someone of title. He has no respect for her happiness at all. Olivia and her mother both live in fear of the wrath of her father. Emerson is just coming back into society after his father's death. He has been trying to court Olivia but hasn't been doing a very great job of it. So he has come up with a game for them to play at dances so that hopefully she may come to see his feelings.
so many different games are being played in this book and it just leaves you wanting to find out what is going to happen next. This is author Jentry Flint's Debut novel. I am so excited to see what other great books that we maybe seeing from her.
