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 more than three years, Tristan rode over Cainewood Castle's...
3: "You look lovely, Alexandra."
4: Alexandra sat at her gold-and-white Chippendale dressing table...
5: The evening began pleasantly enough.
6: Alexandra was shocked at her sister's bold suggestion...
7: "I see," Alexandra said and immediately turned to leave.
8: "Murder?" Alexandra's elbows gave out...
9: "Six weeks." Pacing the music room...
10: Breakfast the next morning was uncomfortable.
11: "Lady St. Quentin," Alexandra said that afternoon...
12: Two days later, Griffin woke on the wrong side of the bed.
13: "What's going on here?" Griffin asked a few days later...
14: "That was delicious." In the shade of a large elm...
15: The next month passed in a whirl of preparations for the ball.
16: "Did you bring the new pump?"
17: Tristan's assessment of the drainage problem...
18: Rachael was more businesslike than he remembered...
19: "Rachael!" Alexandra and her sisters rushed across the drawing room...
20: The gray day had finally delivered on its promise, and rain pattered...
21: Boniface's pretty face was even prettier with red cheeks.
22: With only a day and a half left before the ball...
23: "There's our thief!" Alexandra proclaimed loudly...
24: In contrast to Tristan's mood, the atmosphere in the drawing room...
25: For pity's sake, he'd kissed her...
26: There were no wallflowers at Cainewood Castle's ball.
27: When the elegant supper was all but finished...
28: "What do you think of my son?"
29: Before any servants could arrive to help, Alexandra...
30: Alexandra was having the most extraordinary, most incredible...
31: Alexandra snatched the counterpane up to her chin...
32: There was an empty space at the breakfast table.
33: Alexandra felt queasy as she watched...
34: The sun was sinking in the sky by the time Tristan returned...
35: "What are you doing up so late?...
36: Tristan could scarcely believe he was married.
37: "We're almost home," Alexandra heard softly in her ear.
38: Light supper at Hawkridge turned out to be a three-course meal.
39: Alexandra woke first and watched Tris sleep...
40: An hour later, Alexandra and a large platter of gingerbread cakes...
41: It had started raining around sunset and hadn't let up since.
42: Tristan woke in his study.
43: It took a lot of sugar cakes to feed a village.
44: Tristan arrived home that evening eager to see Alexandra.
45: "What in heaven's name is that noise?" Alexandra asked...
46: There were times in a woman's married life when she wished she could confer with her sisters.
47: Delicate notes from the harpsichord greeted Tristan...
48: The nightgown was only the first of the garments in the box.
49: Alexandra lay in her marriage bed, stunned.
50: "Good morning, my lady." Peggy bustled into the bedroom...
51: The quiet ride with Ernest had done little to calm Alexandra's nerves.
52: Clucking her tongue, Peggy placed a glass of water by Alexandra's bedside.
53: All that long afternoon and evening, Alexandra had a lot of time to think.
54: The next day, Alexandra was not good as new.
55: "I'm so pleased to see you're feeling more the thing today," Peggy said...
56: "Peggy thinks Maude is dead," Alexandra told Tristan...
57: When Maude's door closed behind them, Alexandra and Tris...
58: Alexandra was still snug in bed when she heard...
Epilogue: Two weeks later, on the peaceful rise overlooking Griffin's vineyard...
