[Historical romance, mutual devotion, careful scheming, husband and wife united]
A prophetic dream filled her with dread. But it wasn’t the scumbag husband and his family, who wanted to seize her dowry, that frightened her most. It was the “adulterer” in the dream, the man rumored to have had an illicit affair with her.
So she humored him in public while secretly making her escape.
Who could have guessed that after all her efforts to avoid him, when they finally met, she would still have to smile and call him, “Cousin”?
He had no interest in women, yet night after night, the same woman appeared in his dreams, her radiant smile making him surrender completely.
What he never expected was that the woman really existed, and that she was the daughter of the aunt he had spent years searching for, his “younger sister” in name only.
In short: For years, he carefully maneuvered his way through court, all to overturn an old case and keep one person safe.
