Lost to the Night (The Brotherhood Series, book 1)
“The twenty or so minutes it had taken Alexander to walk from Miss Bromwell’s home, had given him an opportunity to consider how he wished to approach his friendship with Markham and Devlin.
Friends were untrustworthy.
Neither Reeves nor Lattimer had bothered to search for him after he’d gone missing from the tavern, assuming he’d abandoned them for a pair of cushioned thighs. It was a reasonable assumption, he supposed, but still he had to blame someone.
The difference now was that Markham and Devlin were the only ones to share his secret. They had stated categorically that they would never betray a brother, and Alexander could not help but feel a kinship towards them. Despite Markham’s arrogance, he’d been more than helpful with Mr. Sutherby and Alexander always paid his dues.

“I took a detour.”
