“Who are you?”

I followed the tall blonde down the hall into a private dressing room after watching a scintillating dance designed to arouse every audience member. It had worked. I adjusted himself in his trousers and shut the door behind me so as not to lose the infamous Georgina to the hordes of fans.

“My name is William Bellamy. Bell to my friends.” I stepped forward with an outstretched hand after hesitating a scant second. Perhaps I should’ve gone with my instincts and bowed over Georgina’s hand as I would a lady.

Georgina ignored my proffered hand, eyeing it as though it held a dead rat. “And are we going to be friends?”

I straightened grinning up at the other male. “I hope so.” If I hadn’t seen certain body parts revealed in the recent dance, I’d never have guessed the creature in front of me was, in fact, a man, not a woman. Long, golden hair spilled down his back, and it was no wig. Georgina’s face was one every debutante would pray to her maker for. Big blue eyes, pouty pink lips, and thin arched brows created a feminine beauty. “I’m told I make a good friend.”

Georgina turned to the mirror and sat on a stool in front. He leaned forward to examine his reflection. “Why did you follow me? You don’t seem the type to want me in your bed.”

“You’re beautiful,” I said honestly. When Georgina didn’t respond, I continued. “You’re correct, I’m here for you, but not in the way the other men are.”

“Why are you here, then? I’m a busy girl, my adoring public expects another performance in half an hour.”

“I’ll be quick then.”

“Oh no, darling. Never brag about being quick. You’ll lose all interest.”

I laughed at the double meaning. “I’m here on behalf of a friend. Lucas Morgan.”

Georgina showed no reaction.

“Twin brother to the Earl of Westhunt.”

Georgina put a hairbrush down with a snap and straightened his spine. “I haven’t seen the earl in almost a year. Not since the week after he became earl.”

I angled himself to be seen in the mirror. “Can you tell me about your relationship with him? Or more specifically, when he became earl?”

Georgina swiveled to face me and there was a distinct wariness in his face. “I’d prefer not to talk about Sebastian Morgan.”

“Please, Georgina. Man to man. Lucas fears his twin has committed a great crime.” I stopped and held my breath as the beautiful man watched me.

Georgina turned back to the mirror and slowly ran the brush through his long hair before finally speaking. “We were lovers for a few months. He was very careful to keep me hidden. He came to me late at night and always in a hack for hire. He never spent the night.”

“What about when he became earl?” I asked.

Georgina frowned. “I’m afraid I can’t tell you much. He went to some nabob house party. Of course I wasn’t invited. All I know is he went away for a week and came back as the earl.
