“This was a very bad idea,” Adam muttered to himself as he joined his grandfather. But Charlotte had asked, and he found it impossible to deny her request, which did not bode well for the future. Yet, if she was his future, the smuggling was hers, not that he’d ever let her participate, of course.

With a chuckle he shook his head. As if he’d be able to stop her.

“Have you lost your mind?” his grandfather demanded.

“What do you mean?”

“You brought her here!” His grandfather pointed to the step Charlotte watched from. “Not thinking with your head, boy, but something else, and it will see the lot of them arrested.”

Of course his grandfather never feared arrest. His riches lined too many pockets, guaranteeing that investigators, if they ever came around, would look the other way. Others, their friends and colleagues, had been caught in the past, but his grandfather did nothing to help them. Someone had to pay for the crime, and it satisfied the authorities by arresting a few on occasion so they could claim they were ridding the coast of the dreadful smugglers.

“Just as bad as her.” His grandfather nodded to Tressa Teague, one of the vicar’s daughters. “Brought a stranger with her. A fisherman who I’ve not seen in these parts before.”

“Does Miss Teague trust him?” Adam asked. Tressa would never put this operation in danger, any more than Adam would.

“Says she does, but what does she know? She’s a woman.” He pointed to Charlotte. “Just like her. None of them have a lick of sense.”

Adam should have expected such a comment from his grandfather. He knew of only two uses for women. One was warming a bed and the other, delivering heirs. Otherwise, they were of no use, which was why he’d practically celebrated when Adam’s stepmother took her four daughters from the manor when Thomas returned, ridding them of all the nonsense that comes from having females about.
