Sandy laughed, and I realized that I liked her, in spite of everything. Yes, she was beautiful. Yes, Sonterra obviously thought she was hot. But that didn't mean she and I were automatic enemies, duty...
Scoundrel! she accused through her teeth. You deliberately let everyone see me with you—including Fulton! Steven arched his eyebrows in a counterfeit expression of surprise. Don’t tell me Mr. Whitney...
