Epilogue

Emily spun through the ballroom, thrilled by the strength of her husband’s arm around her waist. Devon smiled down at her, his eyes dark with passion. She fought a blush, too aware of her mother’s and mother-in-law’s watchful gazes. As much as she wanted Devon to kiss her, she dreaded the week of scolding they would both endure if they succumbed to the impulse. Kissing in the middle of a ballroom was not acceptable behavior. Ever since the night of their betrothal, a year ago, society had kept a watchful eye, daring them to repeat the act.

As they danced, she caught sight of Prudence, Fanny and Liza, all on their third season now, clustered about a wide-eyed miss. Emily shook her head. She would have to rescue the girl.

“Is dancing with me not enough to hold your attention, love?” Devon teased.

“They’re going to send that poor girl off to the conservatory, or the veranda or—”

“The library?” His hazel eyes danced with mischief.

“Or the library,” she agreed primly. “I must intervene.”

“Oh? Was slipping off to the library truly so terrible?”

She smiled at him. “It had its ups and downs.”

“Hm.” His gaze roamed over her in a way that still brought heat to her cheeks. “It did at that. I’d say the downside was letting you leave before I could kiss you.”

“Devon,” she squeaked, as he lowered his lips to hers.

The gasps of the onlookers, along with her own qualms, were forgotten when his warm lips met hers. The promise and devotion of that kiss stole Emily’s breath. When he finally released her, she let out a long, languid sigh.

“Devon Fletcher, I’ll never hear the end of that from my mother, or yours,” Emily protested, but she couldn’t keep the smile from her face. “You’re such a rake.”

He chuckled and spun her back into the dance. “No, my love, I’m the devil.”
