She moved a little closer. “Are you saying you agree with such a misogynistic approach to succession?”
He leaned in, as well. “I’m saying, at number two hundred and forty-seven, there’s little I can do about it.”
“You could oppose it.”
“In my spare time? I’m a busy man, with a lot of important business dealings and connections, international connections.”
Was he bragging?
He seemed to be watching for her reaction to that statement.
“Okay,” she drawled. “And how long have you lived in Dubai?”
He straightened, peering at her a few seconds longer. “I’ve owned Cadair for ten years. I spend winters here, summers in England.”
“Are you married?”
“No.”
“Engaged?”
He hesitated. “Not yet.”
Julia experienced a jolt of curiosity. What kind of woman would marry a man like Harrison?

“I really need to call my friends.”
He shook his head.
“They’re going to think I’m dead.”
He got that intense, probing look on his face again. “Now, why would they think that?”
“Because I disappeared for twenty-four hours in a foreign country. In my world, that’s weird.”
“And what world is that?”
She leaned forward, slowing her speech, enunciating each word. “Horse-race reporting.”
“I almost believe you.”
