Yet he’d have to tell her eventually. What a dilemma he’d created. To gain his place in the House of Lords and thus on that delegation, he must publicly establish his claim to the title. But if he claimed it publicly, whether before or after he married Rosalind, she would kill him. He groaned. Was there no way around this without infuriating her? Of course, she needn’t know how he’d gotten the certificate. He could keep that between the earl and himself. And using it would mean little change to the family situation, because once he married Rosalind, he’d take up residence at Swan Park and all would be as it was before. He could even allow her father Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html to remain in the master bedchamber. He was not a vindictive man, after all. There would merely be the small matter of a public transfer of the title from her father to Griff. Possibly no more than a month. In the House of Lords. Before all her father’s peers and a number of newspapermen, no doubt. Her father branded a criminal, her sisters pitied, his deception in wooing her aired before her.

He groaned again. Damnation, it wasn’t fair! He deserved that title; it was his! She ought to be grateful he wanted to marry her after everything her father had done to him, damn it!

“If you groan one more time with such feeling, Griff,” she said quietly at his side, “I’ll know you’re regretting your proposal of marriage.”

His gaze swung to her. “I have no regrets on that score, believe me.” It was true, God help him. No matter what difficulties marriage might present, he wanted to marry her more than anything he’d wanted in his life. Except that place on the delegation.

But he’d find a way to gain both. Perhaps her father would oblige him by succumbing to his illness in a timely fashion.

Guilt assailed him for even wishing something that would give her such pain. He groaned yet again. Catching her anxious look, he quickly said, “I’m merely trying to decide how to handle our entrance. I don’t wish to embarrass you before your family. Is there a way to enter the house without being noticed?”

“Don’t tell me you failed to uncover all the secret passages of Swan Park during your wanderings.”

“I see that making love hasn’t dulled your sharp tongue, my lady. Very well.” He halted, swept her up in his arms, and strode toward the main entrance. “We can always go in like this. Get all the questions out of the way at once.”

“Put me down, you rascal!” she hissed, darting a furtive glance at the windows they were passing. “For pity’s sake, put me down!”

“As you wish.” He released her legs so they slid slowly down his body, though he continued embracing her until he’d stolen a kiss. One very hot, very sweet kiss that left him panting for more. She broke away, breath racing, eyes wide, lips reddened. “There’s a side door behind there.
