The Lady Plays Her Ace (The Langley Sisters) - Plot & Excerpts
"I've called at your house three days in a row, sent you notes, and not one word have you replied to me. I want to know why, Ace." "Stop glaring and sit, Fletcher, before you have an apoplexy." Ace waved to the seat opposite him. He had gone to a tavern, simply because he'd thought no one would find him here. He wanted to keep his friends and family safe, and to do that he had to keep all contact with them brief. "Answer the question," Luke said, sitting. "I have not been avoiding you, Luke. I have been busy." "You're lying." Ace held Luke's gaze steady, and the other man never looked away. Damn, he'd never been good at lying to the people he cared for. "I don't lie," he said slowly. "Not normally, no, but you are now." "Yes," Ace sighed, acknowledging his friend’s words. "I am." Signaling a barmaid, Luke then looked at him again. "Why?" Should he tell him the truth? For days, Ace had sent men to investigate who was after him, but no news had returned and it would be good to talk to someone he trusted about the situation.
