"I shall have to make you known to Miss Hamilton, Mr. Dunlap. She's from the colonies, too."

"That would be delightful." Dunlap smiled faintly at his dancing partner, Lady Charlotte Wickford. Runyon had introduced him to this pocket harpy the moment he'd crossed Easthaven's threshold. She had looked him over carefully. He was used to women assessing him, but usually they were looking for their own use. Not Lady Charlotte. Her eyes were as cold as Runyon's. He would bet a night's profits that she also wanted to separate Miss Hamilton from the duke.

It was a huge joke that he was here waltzing with the ton. Most of the men in the room had visited at least one of his whorehouses. Some were avid patrons. Yet not one of them knew who he was. He knew them, however. He chose his madams carefully. They were shrewd businesswomen and excellent spies. Knowledge was power, and Dunlap loved power, even more than money and certainly more than sex.

The music drew to a close and Lady Charlotte dragged him off the dance floor. She had spotted her quarry. They were bearing down on a tall, thin, redheaded girl, half hidden by a small forest of potted palms. Dunlap sighed. He'd known this chore would not be enjoyable. Well, it wouldn't be the first time he'd humped an unappealing female. For a few years while he was growing his fortune, he'd had a side business servicing wealthy, bored wives. He'd screwed everything from young matrons, barely wed, to wrinkled matriarchs. He would get this job done, too.
