Excerpt
“I don’t understand why you were checking all the windows if you’d already broken into one. Your movements were pretty sneaky.”
Her questioning was measured and purposeful. Needed the fine details tuned, did she? Well, he guessed she deserved to know since he needed her to help him one hundred per cent.
“It’s my job,” he answered, perusing the photographs hanging in a montage on her wall.
“What? But you said you weren’t…”
“A burglar? Of course, I’m not.” Encouraged by her naive responses sardonic laughter spilled forth. “I’m a Chartered Surveyor. My current focus in the UK is renovation of old properties.”
“So you were checking all the windows as a professional?” That rosy little blush stained her cheeks, though he contrarily wished it hadn’t. “I’m sorry about that.”
Brushing off her apology with a terse wave of his hand, Luke enjoyed telling her more of his farcical story, though she had a cute little way of squirming up her nose when she was working something out, which distracted him from the main purpose.
“What did you mean ‘and that’s history, but not quite’?”
“My being willed the Hall isn’t as straightforward as it seems. That’s where you can help me.”
He had a gut feeling she was going to be perfect for his needs.
“Me?”
Her bewilderment was exhilarating. He soared up in front of her.
“We’ve established that I’m not a burglar, but you, Miss Rhia Ashton, are a multiple trespasser.” He let his index finger gently mock in front of her nose. “You’ve been trespassing on that property for some time.” His tongue clicked against his teeth. “Disregarding the law.”
“Gus told me it would be fine to walk Thor there.” Her voice faded to nothing.
Creasing his dark eyebrows in doubt, Luke determined Gus needed to be eliminated from her life.
“Neither you, nor Gus had permission to be there. So here’s the thing. Unless you want to go back to the police station and be charged with quite a few offences, I think you might need to listen to the proposal I’m about to put to you.”
Professional Reviews
Fun read, fab setting, lots of plot surprises!
A fun read with likeable characters in a gorgeous setting. I really felt as though I was at Greywood hall, I could picture it as I read. I particularly enjoyed the mystery aspect of the book - why an inheritance was left to Luke from a woman he never knew! How Luke and Rhia tracked down the 'why' part of his inheritance gave an intriguing plot with lots of twists and turns along the way. Highly recommend!
