Chapter 43

• ‘If you’ll let go of my arm, then maybe we can discuss this like civilised human beings!’
• ‘Civilised!’ Alessandro scorned. ‘That’s not the word that comes to mind when I think of how I’d like to be where you are concerned.’
• Now there was a word he would never use to describe Sofia Mottram—Sofia Emiliani as she was now, though the thought of his family name being attached to someone like her brought a sour taste into his mouth. Civilised didn’t describe a woman who had deliberately let herself become pregnant just to trap herself a rich husband, and then walked out on her marriage when that baby had not even been two months old.
