The iconic towers of the Petrogorian palace soared into view, but Zabrina could barely focus on the pale-hued magnificence of the ancient building ahead, so great was her anger towards the man by her side. He was...unbearable. He was the most unspeakably arrogant man it had ever been her misfortune to meet and if she was now committed to spending the rest of her life with him, she had only herself to blame.

So how come she still fancied him like crazy, even though some of the things he came out with made her want to scream with rage?

His damning assessment of virgins and their constant need for reassurance had been unbelievable! Was that how he regarded everyone who came into his orbit? In terms of how they impacted on him? Why, he’d made it sound as if he found some women boring even while he was actually having sex with them! Her heart missed a beat as an annoying flash of jealousy shot through her like a dark flame at the thought of him being intimate with another woman, but, once it had passed, her overriding emotion was one of relief. Thank heavens she hadn’t asked him if she was pleasing him! Or if she was ‘doing it right’.

But it hadn’t been like that, she remembered. There had been no sense of inequality when they had both lain naked on that sofa. It hadn’t felt as if he was the super-experienced one—which he clearly was—while she didn’t have a clue, because she had never done it before.

She shook her head a little because thoughts like that were dangerous. Fanciful. If she wasn’t careful, she would start believing her own stupid fairy-tale version of what had happened. And Roman had tacitly warned her not to do that. He’d said that reality was just a personal interpretation of facts. So she’d better be careful not to misinterpret them.

Surreptitiously, she wiped her palms over the skirt of her silk dress and looked ahead. She could see even more crowds gathered outside the gilded gates of the palace and a huge cheer went up as the open-topped car began to make its stately progress up the wide, tree-lined boulevard.

‘Do you like it?’ Roman was saying. ‘Your new home?’

Zabrina’s eyes narrowed as they grew closer. She had seen pictures of the palace, of course she had, for it was widely acknowledged to be one of the finest examples of imperial architecture to be found anywhere in the world. The walls were the colour of rich cream, the conical towers rose-gold. Arched windows were edged with pale stone and a pair of intricately carved columns stood on either side of the vast main doors. In the distance she could see a glimpse of the famous gardens and parkland and, beyond that, the soaring splendour of the Liliachiun mountains.

‘It’s...beautiful,’ she said truthfully, but then
