The perfect way to thwart Cousin Josiah once and for all. Was she really going to go through with this? It had seemed a good plan, in the safety of Grosvenor Square. Her stomach knotted with a grim sense of foreboding. A church bell tolled somewhere in the darkness, a forlorn clang like a death knell.
