Once she's his, he can't keep his hands off her, even when they risk being caught during secret rendezvous just outside the ton's ballrooms.
He sees everything she doesn't believe she is and he's going to make her see herself the way he does. Everything would be perfect... except for one person who is determined to ruin Cordelia's newfound happiness.
