The marriage, however, was doomed from the start. She abhorred the marquess passionately for his part in derailing her dreams. Since her father died not long after the wedding, she decided to dedicate the remainder of her days to making her husband forever rue the day he laid eyes on her. The marquess was first given to believe that he had finally attained the sweet wife of his dreams.
Then, bit by bit, she began to chip away at the happiness she had bestowed upon him, until in a great strategic blow, she let slip that Felix might not be his.

He gave presents—bouquets of wildflowers for his mother, rocks bearing fossilized leaf prints for his father. The marquess barely glanced at his gifts; the marchioness cooed over the bouquets and Felix himself. Gilbert Rivendale was squatly built, with pale hair, pale eyes, and indistinct, forgettable features.
