I love this kind of scenario as there is likely to be a lot of page time together but the flip side of that is the potential for angst and uncomfortable situations.

They're there together the entire time, in the intimate setting that you mentioned, and they have to find a way of understanding each other and themselves. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by for the cover reveal!Joana Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150637735779894393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-50616220942178383912016-11-06T15:11:17.517+00:002016-11-06T15:11:17.517+00:00I love marriage of convenience stories, too!

I was actually thinking of you and of 'A Will of Iron' when I was talking to someone about an almond mousse that features in the story. Cyanide is supposed to smell like almonds, isn't it? :D (No worries, I'm not poisoning anyone in MBDD, that was your Lady Cat's prerogative, but your most excellent story sprang to mind and I can't wait to re-read it and better still keep my fingers crossed for another treat from you, with or without almonds ;) ).
