Summary
James never made it as far as Stuyvesant Heights when he reached the twin villages of Bedford & Stuyvesant that harsh and hurried night on horseback in the driving snow all the way up from London. Clint’s mother, Edith, Lady Barton rode out in her fur-lined cloak to greet him as the moon rose and snow continued to blanket the countryside without ceasing. James would lose the road soon, he feared.
Damn and blast, he despised this whole shitty season.
“I’m just on my way into the village to see the wise woman,” the lady confided to James by way of greeting. “I’m glad you’ve finally come, James Barnes, before my lord Earl foolishly recovers and restarts this whole disagreement over again.” She sighed, sounding a hundred plus her years.
“What’s happened? Do you need help, Lady Edith? If it is in my power to give it, I offer any help you need,” James swore.
“Marry my younger son, Lord Barnes,” she demanded bluntly. “Offer for him with all possible haste before his father or brother are given charge somehow over the Bronx estates.”

Summary
“Natashka.” King Steven murmured his favorite courtier’s diminutive name, a quiet request to join him in his privy closet for a chat he’d rather have without additional ears listening.
“Your Majesty.” Natasha curtsied, low and deeply respectful, as she entered the king-consort’s closet.
“Join me, please.” The king motioned to the settee nearest his retiring room where none should be hovering this time of day, nor waiting to listen in. “I’ve had no good word from Brooklyne these two years past on our project of special concern. I think the time has come for you to retire home to nudge them along.” King Steven sighed. He would miss her excellent company, but he could not be selfish in this. Prospect Park at Brooklyne was, in every way, her home. James and Clint missed her company, as well, he knew.
“I am no longer under contract to Lord Barton,” Lady Romanoff reminded her king.
“And, of course, we understand why,” King Steven assured his very good friend. “That does not mean you could not sign a new contract, perhaps with James,” the king pointed out slyly.
“You are meddling,” Lady Romanoff accused.

Summary
“Their Graces, Duke Brooklyne and Earl Bedford-Stuyvesant have brought to my attention a very serious matter,” Lady Carter explained. “In their private search for a suitable surrogate, a pamphlet crossed one or the other’s desk. The contents of this pamphlet concerned them very much indeed. It appears someone is attempting to auction off the royal offspring of Your Majesty, one Lady Darcy Louise FitzRoy.”
King Anthony’s spine straightened like a bow pulled taut. “Lady Darcy Louise FitzRoy… Is she not in the company of her mother, Lady Maya Hansen, in her homeland of Greece, at present, on the Isle of Skiathos?”
“Your Majesty’s agent there says it is so, but also that Lady Hansen has been widowed sometime past and her deceased husband’s funds reallocated to his proper heir.”
“Do you mean to tell me, Lady Carter, that my daughter’s mother is now penniless and attempting to sell my daughter into servitude as surrogate to the highest bidder?” King Anthony growled.
