Early in the reign of Queen Victoria,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawkesbury House in Belgravia, London<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

         Disgust suddenly flooded Viscount Hawkesbury’s body and the heart Justin had assumed was frozen in his chest clenched, hard. Despite being forced into unseemly money-making ventures, the three of them had vowed to remain, at heart at least, gentlemen. They all needed to take their places in society, which was why Justin never usually entertained this sort of female at his house. Too many watching neighbors and too many wagging tongues in this respectable neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had he now passed the point of no return? Had the indecent acts he\u2019d committed, all to either survive or earn his some of the ready, tainted his thinking to this extent? It terrified him that his morals were as lost as those idiots who assumed a title and riches gave a man leeway to be rude, arrogant, and even to inflict pain on those they considered inferior. He\u2019d picked out this woman and had intended using her as an example, encouraging her to pass along his message to the long line of societal whores who would continue to plague him. He wanted to stand in the street and scream and yell, \u201cThe Virile Viscount is finished!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behavior such as his here showed the arrogance he\u2019d always deplored. Rude attacks on a woman were despicable, and it was especially ill-bred of him to tease and taunt what he now suspected was a well-bred lady. But he\u2019d underestimated the woman\u2019s pluck, or perhaps her determination to make herself heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe warned, my lord, I shall return. Tomorrow. Early. Very early. And if you refuse to speak with me, I\u2019ll haunt your house until you are prepared to listen to me.\u201d Her ferocious expression made him burst out laughing again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bart wiggled his eyebrows in a suggestive manner and held out his hand to encourage the woman to take a seat on the thigh of the woman he still held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like her, Justin. Can I have her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFeel free, Bart. If you dare! Though I suspect Thomas is correct. I\u2019ve come to the unwilling, and unfortunate, conclusion that she\u2019s not here to audition for the Harem.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCertainly not.\u201d Her tone was icy. \u201cI\u2019m offering you an exchange. Your skill in tutoring my friends in return for information.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegrettably, my services are no longer for hire.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She inhaled so sharply he swore her ribs vibrated. Then she made her announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I leave this room, I\u2019ll take with me what may be your last chance to see your mother. Alive, at any rate.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
