To Refuse a Rake
“We will be late to your own wedding if you do not hurry!” Sadie’s voice echoed through the heavy wooden door as Emma gazed at herself in the mirror. She wore a fine muslin gown with silk overlay in a rich cream color that highlighted the color of her skin. A soft silk shawl was draped over her bed, embroidered with violet flowers.
