“I must confess, I saw your sister walking toward Ravenwood.” A pang of guilt shot through him, but he could hardly tell her the truth—that he’d met her at the camp.

“Yes.” Her lovely mouth turned down. “She had duties there this evening. The Gypsy earl pays her quite handsomely to tend to his books.”

“At any rate, I knew you would be alone. I didn’t realize you’d be asleep.”

Emily colored slightly. “I—I wouldn’t have if I’d known you were coming.” Her hand came to her breast. Only now did she remember she wore only a thin cotton nightgown.

Andre nearly groaned, for now that his attention was drawn to it, knowing she wore nothing beneath it wreaked havoc with his insides.

He forced his attention elsewhere. “There’s a market fair in Greenboro tomorrow. I wanted to ask if you would come with me.”

Her hesitation was marginal. “I can’t,” she said, her voice very low. “It’s not that I don’t want to,” she hastened to assure him. “I—I just can’t.”

His gaze was steady on her face. “Why not?” he asked in that direct, dauntless way that was so much a part of his charm.

Emily was not so inclined to think so at this moment. She took a deep quivering breath. “I-I would feel like everyone is staring at me.”

“If they do, it’s only because you are so beautiful.”

“What about you? Do you think I’m beautiful?” The question slipped out before she could stop it.

In answer she felt his fingers beneath her chin. “There is no one more beautiful than you, princess.”
