He Wore a Groom's Coat to Spy on His Future Wife — Her Sister Ruined Herself in Two Sentences

He rode two hundred miles in a borrowed groom's coat to look at the family he was about to buy. The Duke of Stanmere owed twenty-seven thousand pounds — none of it his own doing — and a marriage contract was the last card he had. So he came to Marrowdean a day early, in mud-splattered wool, and went in at the stable yard like a man looking for work. He only meant to watch. Then he stood six feet away in the dark and listened to a girl in pink dispose of her own sister's entire life in two sentences. "You can be my companion. You're so good at being quiet." And the woman in grey said nothing — until she did. And what she said in that garden is the reason he walked past the beautiful sister in the hall the next morning and stopped in front of her. But the contract said only "a daughter of Sir Hollis Castellane." It never said which one. Stay to the end. What she found in a chest in his map room eleven months later saved two hundred and ten men their wages — for four hundred and sixty-two pounds. 💬 Where in the world are you listening from?
