Prologue
April 1812
Redford Greystoke, Earl of Westram, forced himself not to look away from the three black-clad, heavily veiled ladies arraigned before his desk. It broke his heart to see them. Beneath those veils hid three beautiful young women. Two were his sisters, the other his sister-in-law. All of them widowed on the same day, at the same hour. Their husbands had been absolute idiots. Their loss left him numb.
From being an earl with a brother as heir and a spare hopefully in the offing, heâd become the last male member of his family with three destitute women to support. The very reason for their presence here and the reason for the animosity filling the air.
âYou will remain under my roof,â Red repeated firmly. âThere is no more to be said on the matter.â
âRedford.â Lady Marguerite, his sister older than him by two years, had taken the role of spokesperson. She spoke quietly enough, but nevertheless with underlying heat. âYou cannot tell us where we shall reside.â
