Excerpt:

“You are a Sandersen,” he remarked, with a wry twist to his mouth. “I knew when I had a daughter that this day would come. Stubborn and smart are not a combination a man wishes for in his horses or his women.”

Elizabeth blinked, not sure if he was joking or not. Her mother, more versed in her husband’s humor, had no such doubts.




Dead Bodies: One ego, squashed
Wardrobe changes: none
Things magical: does a stubborn man changing his mind count?
Tea consumed: none.
