Chapter 25 Whose Marriage?

• Julia was on top of her mare, on her way to Hyde Park. It was still early, which meant that most of the fashionable ton was still abed. After the events of yesterday, she could hardly sleep at all.
• Her heart was racing, and she knew she couldn't lie to herself again, even though that was all she had done in the last fortnight. She had called it many things—lust, desire—but one thing she had refused to acknowledge until now was the truth, even though it had been staring right in front of her face.
• She had fallen in love with Sebastian, a man who would never bend to her will.
