Which character in one of my books has ties to St. James’s? Anne is about to find out. [The book title is listed below the excerpt.]
Anne snorted again. “Have you dismissed your mistress?”
He (Blackmoore) gave one sharp nod. “For now, at least. Whether it stays that way or not has yet to be seen.”
Anne shook her head and rolled her eyes. At least, he would not be her problem. “How considerate of you,” she said dryly.
He shrugged. “I did say that I might not be reformed.”
“In case you were wondering, I will not marry a man with a mistress, nor will I become one.”
Blackmoore laughed. “I would not attempt to suggest such. I felt the way Madoch protected you the last time we met, and I have endured his glares all evening.” He shook his head as he continued to chuckle. “No, no, he is not someone with whom I wish to tangle. I fear I would not win.”
The comment surprised Anne. “I beg your pardon, but I do not understand your meaning. What exactly makes a man who cares for horses someone who must be feared?” Alex was not a small or retiring man, but he was not a brute either. How he could inspire such a reaction in a gentleman who was his superior in rank was beyond her comprehension.
Blackmoore laughed once again. “His connections, my dear, his connections. It is not that he cares for horses but for whose horses he cares.”
