Falling In Love Again (Heroic Rogues Series) (42 page)

She sucked in her breath.
Mr. Braxton?
This handsome and very powerful man was William Braxton, her sister’s husband?

When the man in question settled his dark eyes on her, his expression softened and a smile touched his mouth. “Yes, my dear. Please inform the captain and all these good people why you were running from me.”

The pulse in her temple grew stronger. She couldn’t speak, and she couldn’t think. Telling him about Kat’s death was crucial, yet she didn’t want to do that in front of all of these spectators.

If only her mind would work with her tongue and voice, perhaps she wouldn’t feel like a trapped animal. But more importantly, why did she find her brother-in-law dangerously attractive?

Coming to Philadelphia was worse than she’d ever imagined.
