But everything had gone topsy-turvy. Upside down. Inside out. It had been nearly a full day since she had seen Rogan McBain, since he had assured her Thayer Connelly would be a good protector. What the devil was that about? Who was this Rogan McBain? And what did he want from her? Each time she resolved to pry the truth from him, he gave it eagerly. Or so it seemed. But was it the truth he spoke, or was he so adept at lying she could not tell the difference? A quiet side street lined with chestnuts and small shops called to something deep inside her and she reined Sultan to the right, letting her thoughts roam. What of Shaleena and this Joseph? Did they share some sort of tumultuous past? Or were they merely sharing a tumultuous present? Even Faye found it tempting to trust their newly hired servant, but she knew little of the situation. How had he arrived at Lavender House? Who was he, really? And why had Shaleena’s gown been smoking? Did Joseph have powers of his own? It had taken all of Faye’s courage to inquire, but Shaleena had shared no information.
