Lord of Secrets

Page 25

by Erica Ridley


  Camellia and her husband, Dahlia and hers, Bryony. Their mother. And beside her…

  His heart leaped in shock. “My father is here?”

  Nora squeezed his hand.

  Heath stared in disbelief and hope.

  His father had received the invitation. He had come.

  When their eyes met through the crowd, the baron nodded his head gruffly and pointed to his lapel. A pink rose bloomed from his breast pocket. Heath’s breath caught.

  Father had not been forced to attend the grand opening. He had chosen to show his support of the gallery and his pride in his son.

  Heath’s head spun.

  “You did this?” he whispered to his wife.

  She pressed her palm to his cheek and gestured at the gallery. “You did this, my love.”

  “We did this.” He swept her into his arms in elation.

  “Stop that,” she giggled. “You’ll cause a scandal.”

  “Let them talk,” Heath said, and lowered his head for a kiss.

  THE END

  What will happen when Cloven Hoof owner Maxwell Gideon discovers Bryony Grenville is his silent partner… and she refuses to sell?

  About the Author

  Erica Ridley is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of historical romance novels.

  In the new Rogues to Riches historical romance series, Cinderella stories aren’t just for princesses… Sigh-worthy Regency rogues sweep strong-willed young ladies into whirlwind rags-to-riches romance with rollicking adventure.

  The popular Dukes of War series features roguish peers and dashing war heroes who return from battle only to be thrust into the splendor and madness of Regency England.

  When not reading or writing romances, Erica can be found riding camels in Africa, zip-lining through rainforests in Central America, or getting hopelessly lost in the middle of Budapest.
