Dear Reader Friends,
One more week to go! And then no more waiting for Mr. Steele.
Do you remember him from ONE DANGEROUS NIGHT? The moment when Gwendolyn Lanscarr asked for another favor?
“Whatever price you want, I shall pay it,” she promised. “Money, another favor. We need your help.”
Some paid for his services with coin, but from others he asked favors. Those favors gave him power. They were more valuable than money. Gwendolyn already owed him a favor, one he would soon ask her to act upon.
“We already have a bargain,” he told her magnanimously. After all, he didn’t want to see Elise Lanscarr run into the sort of people he knew preyed on the innocent out there in the world beyond the haven of her family. “I shall be in touch. You need to go in now before you are missed.”
She backed out of the shadows, moonlight turning her white muslin dress to silver. He wondered how long her hair was. Right now, it was piled high on her head, but did it reach between her shoulders? To her waist?
But as she started to turn, Beck had one last question. “How did you know I was out here?”
Gwendolyn shrugged one elegant shoulder. “I don’t know. I just knew.” On those words, she returned to the house.
It is time these two received their own story. A TOUCH OF STEELE out May 27!
