'Was she never in love with him?' James thought. Even though she wanted the baron dead, he thought she would at least have some ounce of love to show the baron right now. Katrina looked like a stranger who stumbled across the baron.

"Good. When they come, tell them the duke killed my husband and this man," Katrina ordered James.
