Four.

For the tenth time today, Thomas cursed the name of Christine Duncharm. Despite his anger as he left the Duncharm residence a couple days ago, he remembered to make some inquiries about this Crimson Parish — turning out to be much to his humiliation. Apparently, she was an author of classic gothic bodice rippers, a genre no respectable rogue would be caught with, and worse, you didn’t have to moonlight to get her books.

In fact, the first bookshop he entered was flooded with the name Crimson Parish and all twenty seven of her books, lined up on the shelves. For whatever reason, he felt the need to tell the bookseller that he was buying the book for his younger sister, though everyone in London knew that Thomas Lacy was the only child of his father.

There was a knock at his door and he quickly threw aside the first of Crimson Parish’s books, hoping not to be caught.

“What,” he growled through gritted teeth.

“Sir, you need to get ready now,” James said through the door. “For your evening… with Miss Duncharm.”

“Damn it,” he muttered, moving to store the book away in the trunk at his bed, where Crimson’s twenty-six other books lay.

He was almost done with the first book and entirely captivated. He hadn’t put it down all afternoon, losing track of time entirely, consumed by the pulsating stories this new to him author wrote. He was surprised by the… content of the book, and jealous that Christine felt comfortable spending time reading about lovers hiding away in alcoves, clothed in passion, when he could hardly stand within ten feet of her without her recoiling from him.

Well, he needed to focus on tonight — focus on getting rid of Christine. Calling his butler in, they set to work.
