“Sit down, Ms. Watson, before you fall down. Surely that idea is not that abhorrent? We know we’ll be compatible in the bedroom anyway, and it’s only for a limited amount of time until I gain full custody of Rhia. My solicitor is of the opinion that my single status would go against me in the hearings, and then there is the small matter of my ex-nanny and her boyfriend. He’s threatening to press charges, and as I refuse to be blackmailed by him, that will be another dark mark against me. Marrying a respectable young woman like you will negate all of that, especially with your history. My temper can’t be that bad, right, if you’re willing to marry me.

I’d hate to see the light in her eyes dimmed, because she’d had to conform, or be disowned like her mother was for taking up with the trash—that would be me, by the way.” He smiled grimly at her sharp intake of breath. “Not that we were ever anything more than friends, but I was a bad influence, of course.
