Rule Twelve

When ignorant of your quarry and of yourself, you are in certain peril.

Gray slashes of rain pelted the hired coach, drumming the cab’s slick black roof and fogged windows with an almost savage tempo. Magnus exhaled, frustrated that he’d been reduced to lurking in the darkness outside the Featherton home. He slammed his fist against the glass and rubbed a porthole in the condensation. Dammit, Eliza, where are ye?

After the previous evening, he knew she would be suspicious and would not receive him, willingly anyway. Everything had gone wrong at the theater. He’d only meant to talk with her, calmly, to find out why she would not see him. But instead, he’d lost control, had given in to his baser instincts. And yet, he didn’t regret one moment of the passion that raged between them in the darkness of the storage room. The touch of her lips, the feel of her soft curves against him. Their night together would remain in his heart forever—for he knew they would likely never share another.

In the sobering light of morn, the truth of his dire situation laid plain his future. And he had to face it like a man:

Unless The Promise survived the stormy seas and made port, which seemed less and less likely with each passing day, he and Eliza could never be together.

Tonight, he needed to explain everything to her. Apologize and beg her forgiveness.

And so, he waited for Eliza to leave the house—he’d wait all night if he had to—for his moment to catch her alone. He knew he must remain in gentlemanly control this time. Resist every urge to sweep her into his arms. He only hoped he could do it.
