“I heard he’s dying,” Heloise said quietly.

He curled his lip. “The bastard’s been threatening to die for the past six years. I don’t care. He can keep his money and his poxy titles.” He scowled at her disapproving expression.

“Your father’s titles are yours by right. I don’t understand why you refuse to accept them.”

“I don’t need them, or the money. I’ve made my own fortune, without any help from him.”

“But you could be the duke one day.”

“The title will die with my grandfather. He wants forgiveness, but absolution is something I will never give him.”

“You can’t mean that. Whatever he’s done, he’s still your grandfather, still family.”

Raven sighed at her endless, unquenchable optimism. “We share blood, but he’s not my family. Your brothers are my family, and my brothers in arms. Tony and Nic, Richard and Kit.”

She shook her head. “You should still forgive him. He’d lost his son and daughter-in-law. He could have had you, but instead he alienated you. You should pity him that money was more important to him than family.”

“Christ. You’re so much kinder than me, Hellcat. I can’t do it.”

She sighed and he steeled himself against her look of reproach.

“What did you think about?” she asked, clearly realizing he would not be drawn on the subject. “When you were alone in that cell?”

He considered lying to her. Considered telling her he’d quoted Shakespeare and dreamed of desert islands. But the truth streamed out of him and he was helpless to stop it.
