Her gaze flickered to the balcony doors and back, her brows knitted in confusion. My balcony doesn’t connect to yours.I jumped. He grinned at the flash of concern he saw in her eyes. At dinner, your g...
Life was a hard teacher, but a thorough one.
He laughed, and it dawned on him that this was what he was going to miss the most—all the possibility that was Beth and he. The future moments like this, of laughing and loving. Of sharing and touchin...
From the Diary of the Duchess of RoxburgheI vow, I cannot seem to walk past a window without seeing my great-nephew carrying Miss Balfour somewhere. All great romantic poems have such scenes where the...
