In a shadowy corner of his soul, a beast sprang to life, ignorant of Juliet's purpose, he'd fell soft, warm, and loving. Now that he knew her plan, he felt hard, cold, and vicious. He'd stupidly allowed Lillian's sister to weasel her way into his household and weave herself into his heart. Her verbal sparring, her impassioned kisses, had all been an act. Each of her innocent-sounding queries about the lassies' mothers had been a cleverly devised ploy. She thought to trick him into revealing names because she didn't know which girl was her niece.

The knowledge brought a smile to his face, for he had time to play her game and seek revenge.

The first night in the library she hadn't been looking for a book to help prepare lessons. She'd been ferreting out the Books of the MacKenzies. She hadn't given up her bed to Agnes out of love for the lass.

She'd done it to invade Gallie's chamber and the tower room.

In his mind, the beast prowled restlessly. She had stolen into the tower room. He'd almost caught her once. She'd had the keys and notes in her hand. Thank God she didn't read Scottish well enough to decipher the information in the books. The reason behind her promise to learn his language was a lie. So was her desire for him. What other lies had she told?

What of the truths he'd revealed to her? He cringed, thinking of how he'd confessed his fears and doubts to her. At least he hadn't told her the whole story about Easter Ross, about a small boy whose world had been cruelly ripped apart.

Lachlan settled back into the chair and loosened the reins on his emotions. Like a strong tide drawing pebbles from the shore, anger dragged at the love in his heart until only a smooth, desolate beach remained, devoid of care and compassion for a scheming, lying Colonial.
