Proper Scoundrels

Proper Scoundrels (2021) Allie Therin (Roaring Twenties Magic #1)

Set in 1925 in London & Paris

“You’re his spitting image, you know.” Wesley’s brother had been too, all three of them over six feet tall with the same brown hair and gray eyes. Now only Wesley was left, and he couldn’t set foot in society without people who’d sat out the war in the comfort of their homes wanting him to know how sorry they were for his losses.

“The tea is cold.”

“Is it, my lord?” Ned said, not looking at him.

“Yes it is,” Wesley said, with an edge. “The tea is cold and the toast is burnt and the fire unbanked and I don’t have my newspaper.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, my lord. Perhaps we’re all a bit distracted on account of little Elsie being so upset.”

Foreigners are just people and all people are universally terrible, so what’s the point of disliking foreigners in particular?

Maybe you reap what you sow wasn’t always an omen of misery. Maybe sometimes, if you sowed soft things, like joy and affection, that’s what you reaped.
