“How wonderful,” the Duchess said.
Iona sighed. Her gaze returned to the brass key she was holding in her lacy-gloved hands with reverent care. “This is one of the finest gifts I’ve ever received.” A tear trailed down her cheek. “The key to my heart.”
And then she brushed his cheek with a tender kiss in front of her family and his. “I love you,” she said with a warrior’s conviction. “I love you, Lord Nathan Wynter. That is why I ran down the stairs. Because I realized I hadn’t yet told you. But you needed to know. There isn’t anyone in this world I would want for a husband save for you.”
All of a sudden Nathan understood her tears. Indeed he felt close to spilling a few himself. She’d given him the greatest possible gift—a declaration of her unconditional love in front of his family.
“Oh my!” she exclaimed. “We’re late for our wedding!”
He swept her up into his arms.
“Let them wait,” he said and gave her a slow passionate kiss.
