The more mysterious a man was, the more unsettling he was. Had he appeared to her as an enemy–Cameron doubted she could escape him at all.
She traced the rim of her teacup and smiled briskly. “I‘m not too worried about Joaqin‘s scheme. It‘s his daughter who‘s the biggest thorn in the flesh.”

variety commoners.” Nollace stiffened, and his eyes lit up. “Brother and sister?”
Cameron crossed
her legs. There was something implicative about her smile. “They‘re here to do business… or so they said. The man was pretty pleasant to the eyes. The woman? She looked lik

“You know who I really am, and I know your secret, too,” Nollace stated placidly. “We are partners, and a partnership is predicated on mutual sincerity. I‘m not the only
