A Marquis for Mary
“She feared it might never come again, and that if it did, she would only be haunted by reminders of the living nightmare she currently inhabited.
Every word she had exchanged with Isadora and Imogen, every sentence she had written to Edward in her letter…they rang in her head, taunting her.
