DEADLY ILLUSIONS
DEADLY KISSES THE MASQUERADE A LADY AT LAST THE STOLEN BRIDE THE PERFECT BRIDE A DANGEROUS LOVE
For Sue Ball, one of the most generous and caring
spirits I have ever known. My heartfelt thanks for so many years of kindness, friendship and support to me and my family.
THERE WAS SO MUCH LIGHT, and Alexandra hesitated, confused.
âAlexâ¦andra?â her mother whispered from the bed.
Gold-and-burgundy wallpaper adorned the walls, and dark draperies were closed over the bedroomâs two windows. The bureau was a dark, rich mahogany, as was the bed, and the bedding was wine and gold. The roomâs single armchair was a dark, intense red. Yet the light within almost blinded her. âI am here, Mother,â she whispered back.
And then, because Elizabeth Bolton was dying and would not last another night, because she had wasted away from the cancer eating at her, because she was so frail and weak now that she could barely see, much less hear, Alexandra hurried forward. She held back the tears. She hadnât cried, not even once, not even when her father had told her that her mother had a terrible and fatal disease. It hadnât been a shock. Elizabeth had been fading away before Alexandra and her younger sistersâ eyes for months. Being the eldestâall of seventeenâmeant she had to hold the family together now in this crisis.
