His Mistletoe Marchioness

  Alex was baffled. ‘What has he done? I can go to him, explain...’ But even she knew her father would never listen. Never care.

  ‘Just take of yourself now, Lady Alexandra. That’s all any of us can do.’ For just a flashing instant, his hardness seemed to melt. He took her hand in his and squeezed it, holding on to it for one precious moment. ‘Never let them change you, no matter what.’

  ‘Malcolm!’ Mairie called and that hard mask came over him again. He gave Alex a bow and left her standing there alone in the middle of the road.

  Alex tightened her hand over the feeling of his touch and shivered. She knew then she would never see him again.
