Not only did they run but they found themselves an occupation that assisted other ladies that found themselves in the predicament that Charlotte and Ariel recently escaped.

Five years later, Charlotte finds herself in need of a bodyguard. One of her clients has recently been murdered and it seems that Charlotte may know more that the killer wants known. She’s hoping to kill two birds with one stone though and employ a new man-of-affairs with the same person. She’d prefer someone with no passion, no style, no mystique. What she gets is St. Ives.

Baxter St. Ives, on the other hand, can’t believe that she thinks he won’t do. Is she nuts? He isn’t memorable, has never had passion, is the most even tempered man that can be found. Of course, he’s not a man-of-affairs either. He’s an Earls bastard but only in birth not manner, as so many are. Baxter applies for the position to determine whether Charlotte may be the murderer, but he finds out so much more.
