  Summary

  He wanted to avoid it, but he couldn’t.
  He longed to touch her, though it was impossible.
  He wished to love her, and he could only do so in secret.

  In his dreams, he held her,
  and in his dreams, he loved her.
  Oh, how he longed to do it without fear,
  without the shadow of being discovered!

  He knew it was wrong, and he knew it for certain.
  But the heart does not reason: the heart feels.
  And what his heart felt
  was a forbidden love,
  a burning love for his brother’s wife.

  Alternate universe. Where lord debling and the Bridgerton are brother’s.
