I have an Epilogue to The Most Dangerous Duke in London up, for those of you who have read the book. It covers the wedding and subsequent revelations as the duke finally learns about Clara’s “mysterious doings.” You can find it on the book’s page here on my website.
I know it’s wrong but I don’t think she will do it if there is other options, I would do the same too.
If you consider all of your options and breaking the law was the only way to do it, I think I would do it also, especially if it meant saving someone I loved!
