He strode back down the corridor, eager to get to his room so he could relieve his discomfort before he went mad.

Isabella heard the door to the balcony close and sank back into the water. Closing her eyes, she relived the past few minutes, still aching where his fingers had stroked and teased, leaving her wanting and unfulfilled.

Gabriel is a devil.

If that had been his final act of persuasion, she had to admit it was effective. As soon as he kissed her in the salon she knew she still wanted him. But she’d blamed it on her fatigue, strong wine, and the momentary relief of still having a home. Trembling, she rose from the cooling water and draped the towel around her. For once she was grateful she’d dismissed the maid early, telling her to remove the tub in the morning.

Climbing into bed, she burrowed under the covers and thought about Gabriel’s proposal. No, she really couldn’t call it that. It was a proposition that clearly could benefit her if he kept his word. Drake Logan thought he could weaken her resistance because she was alone. If she had a husband, Logan would have to reconsider, perhaps bedevil some other poor widow if indeed gaining property for resale was his aim. What would Gabriel get out of it? She had already decided to forgive him for his long-ago desertion. Six years was a long time to hold a grudge. When she’d finally learned who actually had committed his supposed crimes, she’d secretly been glad Gabriel had escaped, even if it meant he hadn’t come for her as he’d promised in the message delivered by Pablo.

He only had one thing to gain—the reinstatement of his reputation. Even though officially exonerated, many in their society still secretly wondered if he had committed those unspeakable crimes. Even his father had believed for a time, although Isabella never understood why. Señor de la Vega should have known his own son better than that. But his accuser, Antoine Santoro, had been smooth and seemingly above reproach, while Gabriel had been a scapegrace who had been in some form of trouble all his life. When Santoro died, it was said he had been trying to save Sorina from a kidnapper. Only a handful of people knew the real story, knew Santoro’s true nature. If Isabella Fuentes—a respectable widow with a sterling reputation—married Gabriel, it would ease some of the speculation about his character.
