An hour later, the guests had assembled around the dining table and a liveried footman, hired from a neighbor, began to serve the soup.

This event worried Sterling, who recalled all too vividly Mrs. Wimpole’s fish potage—and the need for every member of the Sinclair family to quit the house to avoid being poisoned by the cook’s mother’s favorite receipt.

His stomach turned as he watched Isobel lift her spoon and dip it into the green soup. The world seemed to slow, and he knew he had to stop her from tasting it, even though preventing her from being poisoned would horrify his sister Ivy.

Coils of steam curled up, reaching for his nose. He held his breath. He could not allow Isobel to do it. He couldn’t. He shot his hand out and grabbed hers, steadying it over her soup dish. “Wait—”

Isobel turned her confused eyes up at him, and she carefully lowered the spoon until he released her.

Everyone at the table sat silently staring at him. He opened his mouth to explain himself, when a tendril of pea-flavored steam slipped into his mouth.

“Pea soup,” he said under his breath, wholly surprised. Damned if it didn’t look exactly like Mrs. Wimpole’s potage. The consistency was identical, but…“It’s pea soup.”
