      KISS ME, I’M GORGEOUS

      London, 1821

      Lady Fiona twirled in front of the full-length mirror. Her shimmering, peach stain gown with a tier of delicate lace complimented her fair complexation, rosy lips and dark sable curls.

      Her french maid clasped her hands at the reflection. "Tu es magnifique, ma dame!"

      Oh, Papa.

      He always offered her a resplendent jewel before any majestic occasion; it had become a custom between them.
