Summary
She feels too much, and nothing at all. Hot, seething rage, buzzing beneath her skin like livewire. One wrong move—kaboom. And yet she's startlingly numb. Anger so all-consuming that it leaves her hollow inside. Reminds her eerily of the months after Mary-Katherine was born, when the postpartum depression was so bad that her doctor put her on Zoloft, and she spent her entire maternity leave feeling disconnected from her body. She would stare down at her daughter and not feel anything, and the knowledge that that was the case was terrifying in itself.
She'd like to rip back the confines of her skin; crawl out all blood and muscle. Some morbid relief from her agitated state. Her flesh is a prison; her chest a ticking time-bomb. She forgets to breathe.

Summary
The time had come for Lady Aurora Fane to marry. And, as suitors from all over the land came to beg her hand in matrimony, one particular man—or woman, caught her eye.
This was Carolus Schermerhorn, the Duke of Astor. Or, as Aurora suspected, unfoundedly, Princess Lina, who mysteriously died aboard a ship bound for Rome twenty years ago.
