    Summary

    Belly bit her lip, then whispered, “It’s just the way you look at me sometimes.”

    Conrad leaned closer. “How do I look at you?”

    Belly dipped her head low. “Like you’re conflicted,” she said. She looked directly at him. “You get storm clouds in your eyes.”

    Summary

    Conrad remembers exactly how it began.

    It was a few months after he and Belly got back together, when everything was still new and nerve-wracking between them. In some ways, it felt like one long sigh of relief, at least for him. Or maybe it was more like taking in a full chest of breath after spending too long underwater. Either way, there was a learning curve to it all.

    It took some time to remember how to breathe.

    Conrad character study, post-canon, post-reunion.

    Summary

    Conrad has been a practiced liar since the middle of April and now it's the middle of June, and the bags under his eyes are decidedly darker and his liver is decidedly weaker. The truth is this: He likes Belly without glasses, too.

    Summary

    Boston, 1747.

    Isabel Conklin has spent most of her life in the household of the wealthy Fisher family, existing on the outskirts of their extensive shipping business. Her own place in New England society is tenuous and uncharted. However, when Susannah Fisher insists Bellie be presented to society, she enters an entirely new world of glamour and wealth. Everyone insists that if she can only secure a good husband, she’ll guarantee her status as a lady of worth.

    Unfortunately, Bellie’s biggest problem lies a little closer to home.
