Secrets of Surrender
“Her letter had given detailed instructions on where to meet her in Regent’s Park. No more than five other bodies could be seen at this hour.
He had not known what to expect when she finally contacted him, but he had not anticipated the brief letter requesting a meeting here in London. There had been nothing encouraging about those few sentences.
As he walked toward her, he debated whether to plead his case further. He doubted it would make a difference. If she had decided to decline his offer, ...her reasons would be ones he had no answer for.

“I always visit the parks at nine in the morning, Miss Longworth, so we have something in common.”
He did not think she had ever been in one of London’s parks this early before.MoreLess
