Defending the Duchess (2013)
“Julia asked as they neared her home. “I don’t want to put them in danger.”
Linus could hear the fear in her voice and wished to calm her, but at the same time, he couldn’t ignore the danger of returning to the house—especially now that they’d let on to Fletcher that Julia was back in town. If Fletcher suspected anything about their meeting plans that night, he might try to strike ahead of time.
But Linus saw no need to scare Julia with that possibility. There was nothing to be gained by... letting her get upset. He tried to assuage her fears. “There’s strength in numbers. Whoever broke into your house has already left, and they’re not likely to return with the four of us here. Besides, if the intruder has been watching the place, then they’ll know the police came by once already. They ought to think twice about approaching us for fear that the police might return.” Even as he spoke, Linus realized how hollow his reassurances sounded.MoreLess
