Secrets of the Playboy's Bride (2010)
“Her gaze skittered from his and she took tiny sips from her water. It took him a moment to read her, but then realization jolted him. She was nervous. He’d noticed her nerves at the wedding, but assumed they would pass after the vow-taking.

“It’s been a long day,” he said. “We should go upstairs.”
