I do love Mr. Blackstone’s romantic style. He’s got it down for sure. Brynne and Ethan’s first Valentine’s Day together in an excerpt from Rare and Precious Things. Photo collage courtesy of Luna.
Dawn was breaking as I woke. I was alone in our bedroom. When I saw the lavender roses, I remembered the day and smiled. Valentine’s Day. Our first one, in fact. I looked at what had been left out for me by my romantic husband.
Beneath the vase of flowers, an envelope was propped beside a black velvet jewelry box. I opened the box first. It was another vintage piece from his family’s collection no doubt, and it was beautiful -a filigree butterfly pendant with a large ruby for its body. So perfect for me. I slipped the chain over my head and admired it. I would love wearing this necklace as a reminder of my butterfly angel.
I reached for his letter and read it.
