Rumors and Gossip . .. The lifeblood of London
When Olivia Bevelstoke is told that her new neighbor may have killed his fiancée, she doesn't believe it for a second, but, still, how can she help spying on him, just to be sure? So she stakes out a spot near her bedroom window, cleverly concealed by curtains, watches, and waits . . . and discovers a most intriguing man, who is definitely up to something.
Sir Harry Valentine works for the boring branch of the War Office, translating documents vital to national security. He's not a spy, but he's had all the training, and when a gorgeous blonde begins to watch him from her window, he is instantly suspicious. But just when he decides that she's nothing more than an annoyingly nosy debutante, he discovers that she might be engaged to a foreign prince, who might be plotting against England. And when Harry is roped into spying on Olivia, he discovers that he might be falling for her himself . . .

    “Did you know?”

    “About the music?”

    “It’s a brutal use of the word.”

    “I’d heard rumors,” Sebastian admitted.

    “Why are you here?” she asked.

    He motioned to his mount. “Out for a ride.”

    “No, why here?” she ground out. “On this bench. Sitting next to me.”

    He thought about that for a moment. “You vex me.”

    Her lips pursed. “Well,” she said, somewhat briskly. “I suppose that’s only fair.”

    “Oh my,” Olivia gasped. “Do you think that perhaps…sometime…we ought to have some sort of proper meeting?”

    He wiped his eyes. “Proper?”

    “Like at a dance.”

    “We’ve already danced,” he told her.

    “Only once, and you didn’t like me then.”

    “You didn’t like me, either,” he reminded her.

    “You didn’t like me more.”

    He thought about that, then nodded. “That’s true.”

    Olivia winced. “I was rather horrid, wasn’t I?”

    “Well, yes,” he admitted, rather quickly, too.

    “You’re not supposed to agree with me.”

    He grinned. “It’s good that you can be horrid when necessary. It’s a useful skill.”
