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.
