Barnaby lifted the corners of his mouth to form a mischievous grin on his handsome face. “To keep you from worrying, my lady, I will consider it.”
“That is all I can hope for,” she answered.
“I as well,” Alex answered. “Now,” he said, turning to the guests in the room, “Now, another toast to my wife.” Everyone raised their glasses. “How I was blessed to find the most perfect jewel in the world will forever be a mystery. She is indeed the rarest of precious gems. And I will love her far into eternity.”
Their guests cheered, then drank to Alex’s toast. With tears in her eyes, Belle drank to her husband’s toast, then lifted her head and met his lips when he kissed her.
Belle knew Alex meant his words, but he was wrong. He was not the one who’d been blessed. She was. She’d been given the strongest, most perfect man in the world. Once she’d led him out of the dark.
About Laura
Laura Landon enjoyed ten years as a high school teacher and nine years making sundaes and malts in her very own ice cream shop, but once she penned her first novel, she closed up shop to spend every free minute writing. Now she enjoys creating her very own heroes and heroines, and making sure they find their happily ever after.
Laura lives in the Midwest, surrounded by her family and friends. A vital member of her rural community, Laura directed the town’s Quasquicentennial, organized funding for an exercise center for the town, and serves on the hospital board.
She has written nearly two dozen Victorian historicals, thirteen of which have been published by Prairie Muse Publishing and are selling worldwide in English, one in Japanese, and several in German. Two are Scottish historicals.
In October 2012, Laura experienced an amazing day when Amazon’s Montlake Romance published not one but three of her newest novels. Two of these have been optioned for publication in Russia and Turkey. Several are also available in German. To date Montlake has published seven of Laura’s Victorian historicals.
Always beautifully set and with a mysterious twist or bit of suspense, Amazon reports that Laura’s books average over 1.5 million pages a month read by her loyal readers.
