When a Lady Deceives (Her Majesty’s Most Secret Service)
“Nearly the witching hour, and Matthew Colton had yet to show his face. So much the better. As it was, her thoughts were filled with the man. His chiseled features. Lingering echoes of his voice. Traces of his scent.
It was as though he’d marked her.
Through the muddle of her traitorous emotions, her mind raced with question upon question, all stirred by Sophie’s revelation of the blood tie between Matthew and Harwick. How deep did their bond go? She’d detected no hint of kinship between... the two men, only the same wary regard two natural predators would accord each other. It was high time she delved into Matthew Colton’s history with more precise focus.
But at the moment, she ferried ale to a blustery man whose jowls jiggled as he called for yet another round for his table. Given the urgency in the sot’s voice, one might think he actually required the sustenance another stein might provide. She’d fetch the blighter’s drinks and then be done with him and his cronies, at least for a little while.MoreLess
