Be My Lover (2013)
“The man smacked the windowpane, rattling the glass in its frame. After all this time, why now?
It had been a year since the old duke’s death. A death the man had been sure to make look like suicide. The ensuing scandal with its accusations of lying and fraud had driven Anthony Dyson and his younger sisters to the Continent and kept them there. What had brought him back?
And what in the hell had happened to the youth he had seen running through the garden beyond the French doors just after he sh...ot the old duke? Dyson had put up struggle, but too much fencing had sprained his right arm, making it all the easier to slip behind him, force the gun into his right hand and pull the trigger. But the youth had vanished like summer’s smoke. The months spent trying to find him—not to mention looking over his own shoulder, waiting for a summons from the authorities—had been maddening and nerve-fraying.
Recalling last year’s events, he made a quick mental calculation, trying to remember if Anthony’s sisters were old enough to make their come-outs.MoreLess
