Roman couldn’t believe his luck: Anne De Bourgh had accepted his arm. They would spend additional time together. One wouldn’t call the woman beautiful, he thought, but she was quite handsome in a fragile, delicate way. She was very pale—something a brisk walk in the country on a summer day would easily solve.

But, on closer inspection, Roman realized that her paleness meant china-white skin—creamy, actually; soft and inviting to a man’s touch. She had a pert little upturned nose, wide, doe-like eyes with elegantly long lashes, and her full lips, set too often in a firm line, were inviting when she smiled. Her long, slender neck led to soft shoulders and the delicious swell of her dress above her neckline. She was taller than he had expected, but still the lady’s head only came to his shoulder.

It was with a great deal of pride that he escorted Miss De Bourgh through Pemberley’s hall. It felt right—as if she belonged by his side. It was an unreasonable conclusion. In reality, they held less than a four and twenty hours’ acquaintance, but that didn’t matter. For the first time in his life—since the time he first had heard his cousin speak of life at Hunsford Cottage—Roman breathed freely: This was where God had always wanted him to be.
