Furious, but honour bound.
Edward finds himself furious, but honour bound to do the right thing and not long after finds himself married to a woman whom he doesn’t trust and knows nothing about.
More to the point, he has no intention of trying to find out more. Belle, however, is made of sterner stuff and refuses to be afraid of the angry man she married.
Somehow, she determines to melt icy Lord Winterbourne’s frozen heart, and she’s prepared to be wicked to do it.
