Our relationship was more than just acquaintances; we were comrades who had been through life and death together!" Geoffrey Wainwright and Edward Sterling had met during the tumultuous times of war. Geoffrey had once risked his life to save Edward. Later, when Charles moved south, Edward gave him a peace am

Antonio asked me, pouring water from a jug into a glass without waiting for my response. "No. I didn't know he had a twin brother."

Arthur Sterling had used to blackmail her hadn't been hers to pay. "My dearest Elara," the letter began. "If you are reading this, I am gone. I have lived a life of secrets, but I cannot take this one to the grave. Arthur Sterling didn't pay my debts because I was a gambler. He paid them because of the fire at the Sterling textile mill twenty years ago. The one they called an 'accident.' It wasn't an accident, Elara. Arthur ordered it for the insurance money. I was the foreman. I have the logs. I have the proof. He didn't want you away from Julian because you were 'common.'
