Beauty And the Reclusive Prince (2010)
“Susa’s tone was quietly jubilant, as though she’d just won a bet.
Isabella turned and glanced at her sideways. “How did you know?”
Susa smiled and looked superior, mixing gelatin into the whipping cream as a stiffener, preparing for the fabulous desserts she would be concocting that evening. Very casually, she shrugged.
