Harmony never knew she could feel this happy. She stood in her bedchamber, Margret and Aunt Fiona with her as she was dressed in her beautiful wedding gown. Harmony had chosen a long gown made of blue silk and white lace. It fit her form perfectly, making Harmony wonder how Daniel would react when he saw her in her special gown. Once Harmony’s hair was curled and pinned to the top of her head, the lady’s maid came forward to clip in her wedding veil.
“Oh, Harmony, you look like an angel,” Margret said, sitting on the edge of her bed as she caressed her very large stomach. Any day now, Margret would give birth to what she hoped was a girl.
“Thank you,” Harmony replied, looking between her and Aunt Fiona. “I can’t wait for the celebration to begin.”
“Well, we better get you downstairs and into the carriage so the ceremony can begin,” Aunt Fiona said, gesturing towards the open bedchamber door.
“I will never forget the kind generosity you and Uncle Philip have given me,” Harmony said as she faced her aunt, her maid holding the train of her gown so she could move freely.
“It was the least we could do,” Aunt Fiona said. “You went a good part of your life without a mother and lost your father last year. We were happy to take you in and treat you like one of our own.” Aunt Fiona hugged Harmony gently then, making sure not to wrinkle her gown. Harmony was wearing the pearl necklace Aunt Fiona had gifted her at the beginning of the last Season, pleased to think of her aunt as a motherly figure.
The three of them slowly made their way downstairs to the foyer of the grand estate. They had to go slow because of Harmony’s grand dress and the fact that Margret was very pregnant, but eventually the three of them made their way downstairs to where Uncle Philip was waiting for them by the front open door.
“I thought for sure we would be having a lunch instead of a breakfast if you three continued on upstairs,” Uncle Philip teased.
“A lady must not be rushed on her wedding day,” Aunt Fiona said. “And our dear Margret does not move as quickly as she used to.”
“Oh, don’t you two be teasing me again,” Margret complained.
“Shall we be off?” Harmony spoke up, eager to see Daniel and be married to him. Uncle Philip smiled as he led Harmony by the arm down to her carriage. Because her gown was so large, she would be riding in the carriage brought over from Daniel’s estate and the rest of her family would ride in Uncle’s carriage.
Once Harmony was situated in Daniel’s carriage, which she had to convince herself was now her carriage once she was officially married, the door was shut as her gown was pulled around her legs. She was all smiles as the carriage began to roll forward, a team of four horses pulling the vehicle as the driver took her towards her new home. She hadn’t been inside Daniel’s estate since before Margret’s big announcement. She was looking forward to seeing it again and never having to leave. It was now her home and she was looking forward to waking up each day with Daniel by her side.
Harmony had to admit that the weeks leading up to her wedding had become quite heated. She and Daniel had exchanged so many passionate letters that she could hardly contain the fact that her core was knotted up in anticipation. She would feel Daniel inside of her and replace the inadequate feeling she was able to create for herself. Nothing she had done for herself had made her feel the way Daniel had during their one time together beside the pond. She was eager to be with him and see if he could fulfill all the fantasies he’d written to her about.
Harmony was pulled from her thoughts as the carriage came to a stop. The door was opened, and the footman helped her down as she carefully stepped so as not to ruin her gown. Her family joined her soon after, and as Aunt Fiona and Margret went through the grand house to the back gardens where the wedding would take place, Harmony waited a moment with her uncle to make sure everyone was seated when they arrived.
“I’m very proud of you, Harmony,” her uncle said while they waited. He was dressed in a black suit with a blue carnation in his front jacket pocket to match her gown. “And I know your father would be very proud as well.” Tears came to Harmony’s eyes as she thought about her father and wished that he was still with them.
“Thank you, Uncle. I do appreciate your words,” Harmony said. “All I ever wanted to do was make my father proud when I left for Town with you and the family. I hope he is with us still and can see how happy I am.”
“I am certain he is,” Uncle Philip said as he patted her hand. “Shall we go on then?” Harmony nodded with a smile as she turned her eyes to the open doors of the estate. She allowed her uncle, who led her forward, up the stairs and through the house.
Harmony couldn’t help but look around at all the beautiful vases filled with flowers. It was such a lovely sight as roses of every color decorated the hallway of the estate. Harmony felt like she was truly home, that this is where she belonged. She could easily imagine herself living in this wonderful place and never growing bored of her life.
As the backdoor of the estate came into view, Harmony could hear the chatter of the congregation outside. The footman made note of their approach and signaled to the other servants. A small orchestra began to play soft music as she and Uncle Philip came into the archway of the backdoor. Harmony smiled as she looked out over the crowd through her veil. There was certainly a good turnout for the wedding.
As Uncle Philip led her forward down the aisle of chairs, everyone present turned to watch her approach. Rose petals lined the aisle which Harmony felt below her slippered feet mixing with the bright green grass. She spotted Daniel standing at the end of the aisle, the priest standing next to him. As Harmony’s locked eyes with Daniel’s, she felt as though everything else faded away. She was happy that their special day had arrived, and from the moment they exchanged their vows, they would never part again.
Once Uncle Philip placed Harmony’s hands in Daniel’s, he took a seat next to Aunt Fiona in the front row as the priest began the wedding ceremony. The orchestra continued to play a soft melody as the summer wind swept through the outside venue. Everything felt perfect to Harmony, including the way she felt as her hands were held by Daniel’s. She felt the warmth there and couldn’t help but feel excited to feel his warm hands over her bare skin as soon as the wedding celebration was finished.
When they exchanged their vows and were pronounced husband and wife, Daniel folded back her veil and smiled at her before he leaned down and shared a kiss with her. It was a chaste kiss that fit the appropriateness of the special day. They then joined arms and made their way back inside as those who had gathered clapped and whistled to celebrate their marriage. Many of the tenants had been invited to share in the celebration, much to Harmony’s glee. It was good to see that Daniel was a benevolent master who truly took care of his tenants.
In the grand ball room of the estate were several tables prepared to house the wedding guests. Daniel and Harmony sat at the center table where they would be joined by their family. Then, the breakfast would be served for all.
“How do you like everything?” Daniel asked as he led her into the ballroom. The footmen and maids were standing by to serve the meal and ensure everyone had enough wine and brandy to drink to celebrate the special day.
“The house is so beautiful. I love seeing the roses everywhere,” Harmony admitted. “You took great effort into making sure each detail was perfect.”
“I do have much thanks to give to Lady Chance. She was a great influence on me,” Daniel admitted.
“I’m sure she appreciated the opportunity since she didn’t have much time to plan Margret’s wedding,” Harmony said as Daniel sat her at the table.
Once the two of them were sat, they were quickly served by the footman. There were so many delicious dishes to choose from that it took Harmony a little bit to decide. But as the ballroom was filled with wedding guests, a merry atmosphere filled the space as everyone ate and drank to their heart’s content.
“My darling, I do believe everyone is enjoying themselves,” Daniel whispered into her ear as they finished eating. “I want to help you out of your gown now.”
“But surely they will notice we are missing,” Harmony said, her cheeks blushing red as she looked at her husband.
“Do you really think I care?” Daniel asked, trailing his fingertips along her gloved hand. It was such a blatant sign of affection that it made her shiver. Anyone could see them. However, what should she care now that they were married?
“Make your way upstairs and towards the west wing. I shall be right behind you to show you were our bedchamber will be,” Daniel instructed, speaking softly to her.
Harmony didn’t reply as she simply stood from the table. She kept her chin up and her eyes forward as she made her way out of the ballroom. She was almost surprised that no one had stopped her to give her any sort of congratulations. Daniel was truly right in saying that everyone was so caught up in the celebration itself that they had lost track of the bride and groom.
Harmony made her way through the grand house to the main staircase that led upstairs. Hiking up her gown, she walked upstairs to the top landing and went towards the west wing. She took in the décor of the house, the beautiful paintings on the wall and the sunlight that came in through the many windows. It was bright and airy, welcoming as she made her way down the hallway.
After a short while, she spotted Daniel walking down the hallway towards her. His pace was quick and his eyes were dark as he looked at her. Harmony couldn’t help but blush as he neared her. He took her by the hand and quickly over to a closed door that he was in a hurry to open. Harmony saw that it was a bedchamber that he led her to, and that on the large fourposter bed was a bunch of rose petals.
When Harmony heard the door close behind her, she looked towards Daniel as he locked the door. She smiled as he came to her and wrapped his arms around her, bringing her close to his body.
“I love you so much,” Daniel said against her lips as he kissed her.
“And I love you as well,” Harmony confirmed, breaking their kiss and looking up into his brown eyes. “I have loved you for so long that I feel as though all my dreams are coming true in this moment.”
“And your fantasies,” Daniel teased as he spun her around and made quick work of loosening her gown enough to where she could step out of it. Harmony took out her veil and set it gently aside on the dresser while Daniel shed his clothes. Harmony finished undressing and then stood bare in front of her husband, ready to explore every bit of passion Daniel had to offer her.
“I shall spend the rest of my days worshiping this gorgeous body,” Daniel said as he came to her and took her by the hand, leading her over to the large bed. Daniel had Harmony lay on her back, spreading her legs wide to expose the tender flesh of her core.
“Oh, Daniel. Please, don’t keep me waiting any longer,” Harmony said, looking down to Daniel’s large member and seeing the glistening on the head. She could tell that he was eager as well.
“But there is so much I want to do to you,” Daniel said as he leaned over her and began to kiss her stomach, tickling her a little.
“But I want to feel you deep inside of me,” Harmony said as she began to pant. She laced her fingers in his hair, enjoying his kisses as he made his way down her body.
As his head came to her wet opening, she gasped as he stuck out his tongue and started to draw circles against her most sensitive nub. She raised her hips a bit higher, encouraging him to keeping going. When he began to suck and nibble on her nub, she closed her eyes as she moaned, waves of passion flowing over her skin unlike anything she’d felt before when she’d touched herself.
“I love hearing you moan,” Daniel said as he raised his head and looked up at her. He was stroking his cock, the sight making her even more eager to feel him inside of her.
“You’ll have me moaning all day and night at this rate,” Harmony said as she panted as Daniel rubbed her nub with his thumb.
“That is the goal, my love,” he said with a wicked grin. “I want to show you everything I’ve been dreaming about since the night I first laid eyes on you. I’ve wanted to feel your bare skin against mine for so long that now that I have you all to myself, I shall act upon my every desire, anytime of the day or night.”
Harmony was shivering with delight to hear Daniel’s words. What he had planned for her was so much more than she could ever imagine. He knelt between her legs and lowered his lips to her own flower petals, using his tongue to part them as he dove into her. Harmony never imagined such a thing could happen as he tongued her wet core and sucked on her sensitive nub. She could feel her climax building quickly, and didn’t think she was going to last much longer.
“Oh, Daniel! Yes! Please don’t stop,” Harmony begged as she used her hands to keep his head still as he lapped at her. Harmony began to spasm with pleasure as Daniel rubbed her sensitive nub as fast as he can. Harmony quivered all over as she climaxed, calling out his name as he did so.
“Oh, my love. You taste so good,” Daniel said as he raised his head and climbed into bed over top of her. “I can’t wait to feel what it’s like on the inside.”
Harmony was panting hard as she spread her legs wide. Daniel guided the head of his member to the open of her hot core and slowly pushed forward. She was worried as she felt her head press into her.
“Are you sure you’re going to fit?” Harmony asked softly. Daniel smiled as he lowered his head and kissed her, giving Harmony the opportunity to taste what her essence was like.
As Daniel continued to kiss her, Harmony raised her hands and gripped onto Daniel’s waist as he slowly thrusted forward. Bit by bit, Daniel’s long and thick cock disappeared into the depths of Harmony’s tight core, slowly stretching her as her juices spilled out onto the bed. Once Daniel was fully buried inside of her, he began to set a steady thrusting rhythm that had Harmony seeing all sorts of colors over her vision.
“Oh, yes, Daniel. Just like that. Please don’t stop,” Harmony begged as she used her feet to raise her waist so Daniel could go deeper.
“You like this, my love?” Daniel teased as he whispered in her hair. His leaned on his arms on either side of her, his chest pressing into her large breasts as he thrusted into her. Eventually his pace began to quicken, the sound of their flesh smacking together filling the air.
“Yes, Daniel!” Harmony called out. “I love feeling you deep inside of me.” It was such a husky confession that she couldn’t help but blush as she looked into Daniel’s eyes.
“I love being inside of you,” Daniel agreed. He leaned up on his arms, giving Harmony a clear view of his member slipping in and out of her core with such quickness that she was surprised. “Now rub your nub,” Daniel commanded. “Just like you did when you were alone.”
Harmony did as bid as she reached her right hand down between them and began to rub her sensitive nub. She could hardly believe the feeling that ran over her as she began to climax. She didn’t stop rubbing herself as fast as she could as her hips bucked against Daniel’s. He let out a deep groan that was more like a growl as he found his own climax and spilled his seed deep inside of her womb.
They were both panting hard as they came down from their highs. Daniel slowly pulled himself out of Harmony’s tight core and came to lay next to her, holding her tight in his arms. Harmony was so happy as she held onto Daniel, wrapping her leg around his waist as she enjoyed this moment of officially being his wife.
“I will never stop loving you,” Daniel promised as he whispered into her hair, sounding tired.
“And I shall never grow tired of your love,” Harmony replied, knowing it wouldn’t be long before she was expecting a child as well.

Hello there, my dearest readers! I hope you enjoyed the book and the Extended Epilogue! I will be waiting for your comments here. Thank you 😊
I wanted so much to love this story but I was so very distracted by the incorrect grammar and misspelled words that it took away from my enjoyment. The story line was simplistic but satisfying. Found that the oddities of the story were a bit puzzling. In the middle of the story the men get robbed and I wondered what that had to do with anything. It was very random and not the best I’ve read from you. You are a wonderful talented writer who shares her imagination with those of us who crave it. Thank you so much for the extended epilogue, its nice to see beyond “the end”!
My dear Melody, thank you for your honest feedback!
Loved the story but the mistakes in grammar and spelling were so distracting it detracted from the reading enjoyment. At times the wrong name was used for the speaker. Please do a better job of editing. More than once I was tempted to just quit reading.
Thank you so much my dear Kathleen. I really appreciate your kind and honest feedback! It’s always welcome, as it helps me become better and better.
I’ll check with my editor about these.
Have a lovely day and take care!
I had a lot of trouble with all the spelling mistakes as well as the use of the word smirk. I feel the word smile or grin would have been better.
Thank you so much for your honest review my dear Dawn! It is always welcome as it helps me become better and better! I will contact my editor about that! Have a lovely day!
Smirk has such a derisive connotation. It should only be used in such a manner. Smile or grin could and should be used in every one of the places where “smirk” was used . Other than that, only bad spelling, wrong tense,wrong words, wrong pronouns were the detractors from the story. You should fire your proof reader. I have read many of your books and to date have not yet seen any improvement in spite of you saying that you were going to speak to your editors. I think I have read my last Lucy Langdon book.
Hello dear Dottie.
I believe you have misunderstood my kindness. I am really sorry to hear that you are so upset with the proofreading of my books and I understand it. I appreciate criticism as it helps me and my publishing company further improve and expand. We’re aware of the issue and we are trying to improve the quality of our partnership with proofreaders. That is something I and other authors are bringing up with our publishing company and want to effectively address in the future as it is a big issue we’re aware of and it’s part of working with a wider publishing company that deals with multiple releases in such a short time. So the more we grow, the more the issue will improve, as we’ll be able to invest in better proofreaders.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story despite all the errors. I would have loved the extended Epilogue to include a bit further in the future.
Thank you my dear Andrea. Glad that you enjoyed the book! I really appreciate your kind and honest feedback! It’s always welcome, as it helps me become better and better. I’ll check with my editor about these.
Have a lovely day!
I don’t understand how such talented writers release such poorly edited works. I recently discovered your books and sadly noted a decline in editing with each book.This one was the most tedious read ever.I could not enjoy the story with so many grammatical errors. I thought I had found a new author to enjoy after dropping so many others for this very reason. How does this happen? Do authors not read their own books before releasing them, do they not have editors or publishers to ensure the books are going to be a success? I wish you much success in your future endeavors
Dear Miriam, thank you so much for your detailed feedback and thorough analysis. You are raising some valid points and have a solid justification for them. I will keep them in mind and will work closer with my editor to get them handled in the future. I am so glad that you enjoy my books and I always hope to become better and better to deliver higher quality results for you!
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me, they are very helpful. Have a great day!
I’m afraid that your book needed proof reading, it’s like a child wrote it. The grammar is appalling. There is such a thing as spell check. I’m sorry to say that it was also drawn out and became a bit boring after a time. I wanted to enjoy it.
Thank you for your message, my dear Smudge. I appreciate your honest feedback! It’s always welcome, as it helps me become better and better.
I’ll check with my editor about these.
Have a lovely day!
You have managed to create an amazing story, with a an entertaining plot, that had me enthralled from start to finish. The characters are brilliantly portrayed, with the determination and love to overcome their obstacles. The extended epilogue as usual is a great way to bring their story’s to completion. Here’s looking forward to your next offering.
I am so glad to hear that, my dear!
Well! Another beautifully crafted story. The plot keeps one glued to the book. Congratulations.
I am so glad to hear that, my dear!
I really enjoyed the story.
I am so glad to hear that, my dear!
A very good story with a good plot and I enjoyed reading
I enjoyed the story for the most part However there was a need for better editing and less smerking There were times when the wrong person was the speaker
Rsteecha2
Thank you for your honest feedback, my dear!
You said exactly what I found so incongruous.
The mispellings, poor grammar, and in the middle of it all, a robbery!
I loved the story and the epilogue was a perfect ending. Have you ever considered writing a follow up novel to allow your readers to see how the lives of your characters develop?
Stay tuned, my dear Sandra!
Hi Lucy,
I’ve always enjoyed reading your books and have had so much respect for historical writers due to the almost perfect grammar and limited mistakes. I presumed you were presenting for a friend because of the huge difference!
When I got to the extension and saw that foray had rightly become foyer and the beginning was almost perfect before the errors increased, I was convinced again this was the writing of different people!
The commonality is that I still got fully caught up in Daniel and Harmony’s love and the happy ending for the persons who truly deserved it.
I, too, aggravated with the poor editing, but thoroughly enjoyed the story 😊
I wish all books allowed for reviews at the end!! It would be much more easy for me and many others🙏🏽
Thank you for your message, my dear Gloria!
I really appreciate your kind and honest feedback! It’s always welcome, as it helps me become better and better.
I will keep your comments in mind for my future stories.
Make sure to stay tuned because I have more stories coming!
This book was wonderful .The story made it difficult to put the book down.
I can only add up your wonderful novels.
You always deliver.
Boo
I am so glad to hear that, my dear Coye!
A nice romantic story of two couples fighting to be with their true love. I’m glad it worked out for them. While I enjoyed reading this story I felt the extended epilogue let the conclusion of the story down. It would have been a nicer ending to hear of Margrets child been born rather than Harmonys and Daniels wedding night !! It split the ending of the story for me….sorry
Thank you so much my dear Nora! I really appreciate your feedback!
I loved the story and the characters, but I was continually distracted by the grammar and spelling errors!
Whomever your editor is, they owe you an apology!
Thank you for your honest review, my dear Ellen!
Glad that you enjoyed the book! I really appreciate your kind and honest feedback! It’s always welcome, as it helps me become better and better.
I’ll check with my editor about these.
Have a lovely day!
A little more proofreading and attention to grammar would be appreciated. The story line was fun and predictable. Good job!
My dear Janny! Thank you for your message, my dear kind and honest feedback.
Glad that you enjoyed the book! I’ll check with my editor about these.
Have a lovely day!
Even the reply is garbled!!! ” Thank you for your message, my dear kind and honest feedback. “????? Who, or what, is writing these replies???
Dear Dottie,
In addition to my previous reply, I would like to also mention that I am trying to reply and be vigilant to any review, comment or message I am getting from my readers everyday. I am not taking your support for granted and I respect each and every one of you and the time you spend to post a review and support my work. Yet, the amount of messages and comments I am getting everyday is quite large and I have very demanding deadlines and work to deal with so I can deliver my books in such short time. Therefore, I am trying to reply to everyone and it is not always easy to write texts and unique replies to so many people. I am doing the best I can and I hope my last replies were at least adequate.
So sorry you feel so upset and wish you have a lovely day!
I agree with all of the comments regarding the grammatical errors. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story. Omnia vincit Amor!
Thank you my dear Anita! I am glad that you enjoyed the book! Your honest feedback is always welcome, as it helps me become better and better.
I’ll check with my editor about these.
Have a lovely day!
An intriguing story in which two couples with very different personalities and goals seek to find true love. Societal rules about dating and romance make their jour eye difficult but interesting. The ending and epilogue left one wondering about the outcome of one of the couples.. I hope there is another novel to complete the story. The grammAtical errors were sometimes distracting.
Thank you so much for your kind and honest review my dear Emily! I will contact my editor about that! Have a nice day and make sure to stay tuned as I have more coming!
I loved how descriptive you detailed the struggles of Margret and Harmony to find their true loves. I wish the story could have ended further into the lives of both women.
Thank you so much my dear Luzette! I truly appreciate it! Make sure to stay tuned because I have more coming!
A good story which I thoroughly enjoyed but felt that the epilogue was the continuation of the story, as without it the story would have ended prematurely and on the wrong note. Epilogues usually tells the reader about the life after marriage, and we didn’t get that in this story. Like other readers have commented, the grammatical errors, incorrect words, wrong sentence construction were far too much for a published book, and actually made me double check to see who the Author was and to be very honest, made me ask myself if I should read any more of your books, which would be a shame as I enjoy your stories.
Thank you for your review, my dear G. Glad that you enjoyed the book! I really appreciate your honest feedback! It’s always welcome, as it helps me become better and better. You are raising some valid points, I will keep them in mind and will work closer with my editor to get them handled. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me, they are very helpful. I hope you enjoy the rest of my stories. Have a great day!
The question I asked myself was, “Who is the editor?” . Or better yet, “Who is the publisher?”. Could these books possibly be self published? That would explain the lack of proofreading. I never went to college, but in high school I loved grammar and sentence structure. I am 80 years old and still find myself breaking down sentences from time to time. So, yes, it’s so distracting to see so many mistakes in one book. And it doesn’t improve in any of the other books.
Hello dear Dottie,
Again, I have already replied to your reviews under this post so I think I have pretty mush covered everything. You can always contact me in my personal email if you need more information. Thank you.
It was a good story and held my interest. I too, was distracted by the over use of the word “smirk.” It has a negative connotation to me and I didn’t think that’s what you meant.
Also, there were many instances of the wrong word being used such as “vivid” when it should have been “livid.”
In spite of these mistakes it was a good read.
Hello my dear Dianne! So glad you enjoyed the story! I will make sure to check what you are mentioning with my editor! Make sure to stay tuned because I have more coming!
Lovely story as always. It was specially nice to see a sisterly bond between the cousins and the affection from the uncle and aunt. Most romances I have read usually have snobbish or downright mean relatives. Many people have already commented about the poor editing and I have to agree that your editing team is totally worthless. A high school student could probably do a better job. I have commented on the use of the word smirk many times before but you seem to like that word. Personally I don’t think the word belongs in your story. The epilogue should be more about the future than a description of their wedding night.. In spite of all the criticism I liked the story.
Thank you kindly dear Madhu! I am glad you enjoyed the story even though you had some critical feedback about its writing. It really means a lot to me as I always need constructive criticism to improve myself and so does my team! Thank you again for your kind words!
I understand you are having trouble hjoring competent proofreaders, but you as the author should control the character identification and pronoun use in your story. The plot got bogged down with too much scintillating encounters without adding content to story flow. But despite all these distractions, I enjoyed the skill of your crafting work on the story and themes that made this book still worth the read.
I am sorry about all the editing errors my dear! I try hard to keep up a good quality of work while writing almost one novel each month! I hope you were truly able to enjoy the story nonetheless! 😊
