And how lovely she looked, out here on the water. The wind had whipped colour into her cheeks. Her sandy hair leaped and curled around her face. And her grey eyes shimmered and sparkled. Violet's beauty—for it was undoubtedly beauty—arose from animation, he realised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen she was subdued and distant, as she'd always been when he saw her before their marriage, it was hidden. A secret, like the flower she was named for, obscured by broader leaves in the forest. But now he'd discovered a different Violet—vibrant, responsive. Watching her laugh as spray spattered her sleeve, he felt extremely fortunate. His instincts had somehow led him to a prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs eldest son of the Duke of Langford, Nathaniel Gresham sees his arranged marriage to Lady Violet Devere as just another obligation to fulfil—highly suitable, if unexciting.
