Оглавление“I have come to make you a proposition, Mr Wilder.”
Laura Middlebrook’s gaze settled directly into his, stealing the breath he had been about to take. “As you may or may not know, I have an inheritance from my grandmother, a lump sum amount as well as a healthy trust.”
“How fortunate for you,” Sean said. “There is a point to you offering me this financial information, I presume?”
“Indeed,” she said. “Every farthing will be yours unconditionally if you agree to take on the task I’m about to propose.”
How serious she looked about it. She probably wanted him to investigate someone who had offered for her. Wanted to see whether the rascal had a mistress tucked away or if he might be prone to reckless gambling.
Sean only hoped the man in question deserved her. “Must be very important to you, this proposal.”
“Quite,” she answered. “I wish to be married.”
“I figured as much,” he said. “Very well, then. Who is this lucky fellow you have set your sights upon?”
“You, sir,” she replied with a dimpled smile.
“I want to marry you.”
