She wondered if she would feel sad if Ronan died. Angry. Something. Because right now she didn’t feel anything at all.
If he reminded her of anything, he reminded her of … the resemblance slipped away.
His father’s will conveniently left him a town house adjacent to DC. Declan pressed on.
Before that, he hadn’t understood that his goals and what he wanted might not be the same thing. This was where he’d found art.
She laughed with delight, and he
