Richard spent two full days at Blakeney, leaving after an early breakfast on the third morning.

‘Why not stay down longer, Ricky?’ urged Max over a final cup of coffee. ‘You know you are welcome here, and your house is nearly ready, I understand. No need to go back.’

Richard shook his head. ‘I’ve a few things left undone.’ An understatement if ever there was one—something about his brief encounter with Lady Chasewater had left him very suspicious of what her next move might be. Quite apart from that, he wouldn’t care to wager that Almeria would accept her christening invitation if he wasn’t there to bring her up to scratch—which begged the question of where Thea was to go.

He took a deep breath. ‘When I return with Almeria for the christening, would you mind very much if her other houseguest came too?’

The suspicion of a smile played about Max’s mouth. ‘Miss Winslow—Almeria’s latest candidate for the position of Mrs Richard Blakehurst? Not at all, since the suggestion comes from you. At least she’s found a candidate who can give you a good game of chess this time.’

Richard finished his coffee and stood up, conscious of heat on his cheekbones. There was absolutely nothing in the fact that someone, probably Braybrook, had kept Max informed. Nor that Max had remembered Thea’s liking for chess…but that faint, amused smile was unnerving…he resisted the urge to tell Max there was nothing in it, or at least not much. And definitely not as much as he wanted there to be in it.
