  “I can’t promise I won’t do that.”

  “Fine. Then this conversation isn’t ended. And it won’t be until you forgive yourself, Remy Lafayette.”

  Remy’s eyes shimmered. “I really am the luckiest man alive. Aren’t you even the tiniest bit afraid of me?”

  Behind him, Lizzie snorted. “After what we’ve been through? Not a chance. Now bloody well kiss him until my eyes boggle, or I’ll throttle you.”

  Laughing, Eliza reached up to brush her thumb across his lashes. “Lizzie says I ought to kiss you now.”

  “Oh.” His smile flashed, glorious. “Well, forgive me, madam, but that’s impossible. We’re not engaged.”

  She slipped the ring from her pocket. The stone sparkled in the sun. Ridiculously blue, like his eyes. “Yes,” she whispered, “we are.”

  He took the ring, and slipped it onto her finger. And she kissed him until she couldn’t breathe.

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  Like every author, I couldn’t be one without my fabulous team of enablers: Kelly, Caroline, and the gang at Harper Voyager; Marlene, agent extraordinaire; and Sean, bringer of chocolate and kisses. Oh, and cheers to the staff at the Alnwick coffee shop where I spent many hours writing this book, who called me “Sheila” and wondered if they were in it.
