A Message from Lauren...
Dedication
Prologue: It was almost like touching him.
1: "Not all of it!" Alexandra Chase made a mad grab...
2: For the first time in seven years, Tristan rode over Cainewood Castle's...
3: "You look lovely, Alexandra."
4: Alexandra sat at her gold-and-white Chippendale dressing table...
5: Alexandra was shocked at Juliana's bold suggestion...
6: "I see," Alexandra said and immediately turned to leave.
7: "Murder?" Alexandra's elbows gave out...
8: Breakfast the next morning was a damned uncomfortable meal.
9: "Lady St. Quentin," Alexandra said that afternoon...
10: Two days later, Griffin woke on the wrong side of the bed.
11: "What's going on here?" Griffin asked a few days later...
12: "That was delicious." In the shade of the large elm...
13: The next month passed in a whirl of preparations for the ball.
14: Tristan's assessment of the drainage problem...
15: Rachael certainly seemed more businesslike than he remembered...
16: "Rachael!" Alexandra and her sisters rushed across the drawing room...
17: The gray day had finally delivered on its promise, and rain pattered...
18: Boniface's pretty face was even prettier with red cheeks.
19: With only a day and a half left before the ball...
20: In contrast to Tristan's mood, the atmosphere in the drawing room...
21: There were no wallflowers at Cainewood Castle's ball.
22: When the elegant supper was all but finished...
23: "What do you think of my son?"
24: Before any servants could arrive to help, Alexandra...
25: Alexandra was having the most extraordinary, most incredible...
26: His thoughts still murky, Tristan watched Alexandra...
27: There was an empty space at the breakfast table.
28: Alexandra sighed as she watch the last of their guests' carriages...
29: "What the devil are you doing up so late?...
30: Tristan could scarcely believe he was a married man.
31: "We're almost home," Alexandra heard softly in her ear.
32: Light supper at Hawkridge turned out to be a three-course meal.
33: Obviously surprised at the question, Alexandra pulled away.
34: Alexandra woke first and watched Tris sleep...
35: An hour later, Alexandra and a large platter of gingerbread cakes...
36: It had started raining around sunset and hadn't let up since.
37: Tristan woke in his study.
38: It took a lot of sugar cakes to feed a village.
39: Tristan arrived home that evening eager to see Alexandra.
40: "Sweet heaven, what is that noise?" Alexandra asked...
41: There were times in a woman's life when she wished she could confer with her sisters.
42: Delicate notes from the harpsichord greeted Tristan...
43: The nightgown was only the first of the scandalous garments...
44: Alexandra lay in her marriage bed, stunned.
45: "Good morning, my lady." Peggy bustled into the bedroom...
46: Clucking her tongue, Peggy placed a glass of water by Alexandra's bedside.
47: All that long afternoon and evening, Alexandra had a lot of time to think.
48: The next day, Alexandra was not good as new.
49: "Peggy thinks Maude is dead," Alexandra told Tristan...
50: When Maude's door closed behind them, Alexandra and Tris...
51: Alexandra was still snug in bed when she heard...
Epilogue: Two weeks later, on the peaceful rise overlooking Griffin's vineyard...
