​Dearest reader,

 

Lady Catherine's story is a special one, and at the heart of it, is a beautiful love story. Although, equally, this is a villain origin story. Should you like to stay in the dark as to the origins of her villainous character development and end on an HEA, I have created some reading directions for you.

​

  1. Finish Chapter 22.

  2. Read only the first scene of Chapter 23 and stop.
    (Page 316 in paperback format)

  3. The end. Enjoy the bliss of a happily ever after.
