   Summary

   Victoria looked down, touching the delicate braid draped over her shoulder. "I think it will be nice to finally choose my own companions."

   There was a bitterness in her tone that she made no effort to conceal from him. Melbourne allowed a few moments of silence before responding carefully, "Anyone you choose will be honored to be your companion, Ma'am."

    

   WILD slowburn. The story covers events from the first meeting to the changed ending. There will be everything: drama, struggle with feelings, jealousy, eroticism and political intrigue. Narration from the 3rd person with a focus on the perception of Lord M.
