Chapter Nine

Rosco hit the motorway for London at dawn the next day.

All the nonsensical paparazzi rumor mongering had developed a surprising positive twist.

He’d checked his emails after the wedding to find an invitation to progress contract negotiations with the Duke of Sandford and Trinity St. George.

They confirmed LJ Redmond Publishing had moved on to the next step on the short list process—an interview at their palatial heritage home.

They particularly commented on Rosco’s discretion in handling the media during his association with Titania. His consistently prudent public image impressed them, and they were delighted to see, following his photo prior to his sister’s wedding, that he had a stable and suitably private personal life with his “mystery woman.”

The final contenders for the contract would be listed on the Sandford website. The contest was to become a publicity event for the palace, a photo fest to attract visitors to the heritage site.

Rosco gripped the steering wheel and let his rented Bentley hum along the empty motorway. Publishing was a tough business, and this development didn’t surprise him. He was up for the fight, and he felt a welcome wave of combative energy.

Reviewing the contract details carefully, he remained convinced his proposal would ultimately succeed. He had a team of photographers and writers who had developed the preliminary proposal and were ready to go on the final project.

The opportunity it provided to secure his mother’s publishing legacy was the culmination of all he had worked for. Discreet. Sober. Vigilant.

The only downside was the irony that this attention from the duke ensured an increase in the very thing he loathed on a personal level. Ramped up media coverage.

A quick early morning search revealed there were already additional shots of the times he and Kitty had been ambushed at his townhouse. No fresh news. Just repetitive innuendo. And the now entrenched title for Kitty—his mystery woman.

She’d saved him twice from the Titania fallout. Once with the media and then again with his family. He owed her, and that debt burned deep. It was the kind of complication he’d always avoided. He’d been right about that for all these years, because now that he’d given in to the temptation of Kitty, his attraction to her was yet another problem he didn’t need.

And now, thanks to the duke and his wife, he was trapped for a bit longer in this soap opera.

He needed to keep Kitty close to help seal his contract as his mystery woman. And that gumption and talent was worth keeping on his team. He didn’t want her poached by any other publishing firm, especially now that she knew so much about his family.

He also wanted to protect her. There was bound to be more paparazzi coverage, rehashed photos, and insinuations.

He also needed to be sure of her continued discretion. He wanted to know as much about her as she did about him, and that had sparked an idea for an offer he hoped she couldn’t refuse.

An offer to write the history of Brick Square would give him more time with her.
