  ‘You know,’ she said softly, ‘Lily told me that Celeste was really her half-sister. Did you know that?’

  ‘Hell, no!’ Dominic was amused. ‘Well, what do you know? My maternal grandfather wasn’t as uptight as he liked people to think.’

  Cleo nodded. ‘Your mother said that my father wasn’t the first male to be infatuated with the Dubois women.’

  ‘And he’s not the last,’ Dominic reminded her staunchly. He bent and nipped the corner of her mouth with his teeth. ‘Don’t forget, you’re a Dubois, too.’

  ‘I haven’t forgotten.’

  ‘But there is a difference,’ said Dominic, frowning, and Cleo felt a twinge of apprehension.

  ‘What kind of a difference?’

  ‘Well, I’m going to have the distinction of marrying a Dubois woman, if she’ll have me.’

  He touched her lips with his thumb. ‘Will you have me, Cleo? Will you complete the circle and become my wife?’

  And, of course, Cleo said yes.
