He had dressed his wife—his duchess—as a boy and was about to enter the very gaming hell from which he had sought to disbar her years before. He had every intention of sneaking her upstairs into one of the bedrooms so they could spy on the gaming floor below. There was every chance that Damon would be in attendance, and this time he would recognize her. Not that he would say anything if he did.
It was unheard of, though, and his father would have a fit were he still alive.
But this was not his father’s marriage. It was his.
Which meant he could break another of his father’s rules, too. That damnable unspoken rule where his father never admitted his feelings to another, as if it were a sign of weakness. A freeing laugh slipped through his lips. He could be the man he’d always wanted to be, the man that Bridge had unearthed beneath the rubble of war and expectations.
