Kat Martin - Rule's Bride

Caroline grinned. “You can do it. You are good at getting what you want.”

It was true, though lately, where Rule was concerned she felt greatly out of her element.

“I met someone interesting tonight, myself,” Caroline said.

Violet’s interest sharpened. “Did you? Who was it?”

“He is a friend of your…of Rule’s. His name is Lucas Barclay.”

“Good grief, you can’t be serious. People were talking nearly as much about him as they were about Rule. The man is notorious.”

In the firelight, Violet caught her cousin’s smile. “Luke is a marvelous dancer and unbelievably handsome.” She grinned. “And I’ve never been one to listen to gossip.”

“Luke? You call him Luke? You had better be careful, cousin. What would your grandmother say if she knew you were spending time with a rogue like Barclay?”

“It was only a dance, Vi. And speaking of my grandmother…I have put off my visit for as long as I dare. Grandmother will begin to worry. I am going to see her tomorrow. She’ll want to meet you. Will you go with me?”

“Of course I will.”

“She’s expecting me to stay for at least the next few weeks.”

Violet nodded. “I know you have obligations. But I shall miss you terribly.”

“It won’t be all that bad. Grandmother lives here in London. We’ll be able to see each other often.”

But Violet would be alone in the house with Rule. She didn’t trust him.

More importantly, she wasn’t sure she could trust herself.
