       CHAPTER FOUR

      ‘OH, THAT IS very clever,’ Elizabeth whispered after a long pause during which her breathing deepened. ‘Machiavelli would be proud.’

      Xander didn’t say a word. What could he say?

      It wasn’t for ever, he told himself in mitigation. A few months of her life at the most, and he would pay her handsomely for it.

      ‘Just tell me how you plan to explain Ana.’

      His stomach lurched. ‘You know about her?’

      Throughout the years, whenever an unguarded moment found him thinking of Elizabeth, he would wonder if she’d learned of Ana. He’d never spoken of Ana to the press but occasionally an article would appear that mentioned his tragic fiancée.

      When Xander had ended his engagement, he hadn’t hung around to deal with the fallout. He’d been sick of everything: his family, her family... He’d needed a break from it all. And so he’d found himself in St Francis, where he’d met Elizabeth.
