Оглавление“My brother has spent the past year and a half trapped in your horrid country.”
Frustration ground across the edges of his words. “When I came to rescue him, the French guide I paid quite handsomely betrayed us. Now Westerfield might well be dying, and he needs help. What must I do to convince you to help us?”

It didn’t. Or rather, it shouldn’t. But could she blame him for wanting to protect his family? “When you learned he fell ill, you came over from England solely to get him?”
“Again, why does it matter?” His voice was hard, as though he hadn’t a drop of mercy anywhere inside his tall, lanky form.
“Because…because…” Because I had an older brother once, and if he’d been trapped in your country, I would have done anything to save him.
But Laurent wasn’t trapped in England. He was dead.
Because of England.
