CHAPTER SIX

Suzanne stared into the mocking gaze. He wasn't at all what she had pictured.

"Suzanne," Lady Frances said, "may I present Alistair Rannoch? Your husband's father."

"You must forgive me, my dear. You aren't at all what I was picturing. I never imagined Malcolm capturing a diamond of the first water."

"Don't talk fustian, Alistair." Lady Frances said. "We're extraordinarily fortunate to have Suzanne in the family."

"My point exactly. Assuming the word family can be applied to us." Alistair Rannoch turned his gaze back to Suzanne. "One of the few things Malcolm and I have in common is our lack of convention when it comes to family matters."

How many minutes had de Belcourt been out of sight? She was risking the ruin of her mission. But to extricate herself risked the ruin of the larger mission that was her marriage. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Rannoch."

"Doing it rather too brown, my dear. Malcolm must have told you something about me. I don't normally spare much attention for my heir's starts, but I confess, having met you, I'm intrigued to hear the story of this unconventional courtship."

Anger on behalf of the boy her husband had been shot through her. She gave a smile with the sweetness of lemon ice. "Malcolm came to my rescue in the Cantabrian Mountains. As I'm sure you realize, your son is an extraordinary man."

"Not precisely the word I would have chosen. But I never thought to see him a husband and father. I rather wondered if his inclinations ran a different way entirely. I assure you I'm generally more adept than my clumsiness with my champagne glass would indicate."
