"Till death us do part."

A solemn wedding vow, and one Lord Deverell's young bride most ardently wishes to bring about-sooner rather than later! Only minutes after the wedding ceremony Alexandra is brandishing a pistol, accusing her husband of ruining her family.

So Deverell makes one more vow-that he's completely innocent and will prove it. If she isn't totally convinced, then he'll take the consequences. He sets about winning Alexandra's trust-using every means at his disposal.
