The garters were crimson, the stockings black, and Madeline had no doubt as to the identity of the sender.

Fitch. That despicable villain.

Proving it, of course, would be somewhat more of a problem. There was no card, the box had been delivered anonymously, and she hardly wanted to rush out and tell Hubert what was enclosed in the package or emphasize her interest in who sent it.

Damn his salacious lordship.

With fingers that trembled, she lifted the note. It read: I may not know with utmost certainty, but I can guess what happened.

Getting the journal back was not going to be the end of it; she’d known it all along, despite Luke’s assurance that flaunting their relationship would make Fitch take pause before he did anything else. There was one problem with ethical men when faced with their contemptible counterparts. The honorable side did not understand the depths of the black souls of the truly despicable. This was not a fairly waged war; it was something else entirely. Luke could not fathom harassing a woman in the way Fitch could. And it put him—both of them—at a disadvantage.

Yet Luke had retrieved the journal for her, though it was clear Fitch recalled some of the details all too well.

Yes, Colin had bought her black stockings and red garters and encouraged her to wear them now and again. It was a game they’d shared—a fantasy her husband had enjoyed, and that anyone was privy to the details made her furious.

Not ashamed. A bit mortified and angry, but not ashamed.

She’d found the passage just a few days before as she read through her husband’s writings, so it was quite fresh in her mind:Monday, April 16, this year 1808
