The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

by Cat Sebastian

“You might let a man get a word in edgewise.” “I might, but why should I, when so few people have anything to say that I care to hear?”

Good heavens, why am I trying to persuade you, a man who is positively infamous for taking other people’s money?” “Honest theft is one thing. Making a bargain with the likes of you is something else. That’s filthy.” “How offensive,” Percy said lightly. “If we were in civilized company, I’d have to call you out. Thankfully, we aren’t at all civilized this morning.”

Love, while a fine thing, might be little more than an accident. It was what came next that mattered.
