Excerpt
We reach the entrance to the cathedral. The powerful organ reverberates through the floor. Every single personโman, woman, and childโstands and turns to face me. It would be so easy to flush. To let my heart pound out of my chest and the blood rush to my face.
Instead I lift my chin. I face them down with a calm expression. A Bradley at heart.
Only, I wonโt be a Bradley for much longer. Fifteen minutes, give or take.
My father steps forward. I grip the sleeve of his tuxedo so tight he must feel it. He must feel my terror, but he doesnโt seem to notice. He keeps walking, and so I do the only thing I canโI follow his lead. I float down the long carpet covered in rose petals.
At the end of the aisle, my groom waits for me.
Francisco Castille, the exiled Duke of Linares.
I suppose I should leave the โexiledโ part off. Itโs probably a touchy subject in his family. I wouldnโt know. Iโve never met anyone on the right side of the church. They move in European high society, while my family has been strictly New York City upper crust. This will be a merger of more than two people. It will combine businesses and connections. And, above all, this wedding will save my familyโs entire world. Our livelihood. Our reputation. And the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of employees. So if my groom is as controlling as my brother warned, then thatโs the price Iโll pay.
That is the price Iโve promised to pay.
Francisco wears a tuxedo, naturally.
Some men stand stiffly in them. He looks as if he was born in that tux. As comfortable as I might be in my favorite sweater and worn jeans. Itโs the royalty in him, I suppose.
Black hair. Thick brows. A stern expression.
So far away. The cathedral has to be huge to fit the guest list. Walking closer is like coming into focus, seeing the brackets around his lips, the small slash in his eyebrow. A scar, perhaps. How did he hurt himself? I have no idea. Weโre basically strangers.
We reach the end of the aisle.
My father moves my hand into Franciscoโs grip.
Then weโre left alone, two of us standing in a sea of people. About to be married.
โFancy meeting you here,โ he murmurs.
Through the delicate satin of my glove, I feel his strength. His heat. Itโs a comfort, even though I barely know him. I match his dry tone. โI heard someoneโs getting hitched.โ
His lips quirk. โA wedding, you say. Nothing too fancy.โ
