‘And is that your intention?’ She could see it was.
His look measured her. ‘Yes.’ There was no doubt in his mind anyway.
Now they were down to the real thing. Was he the type of man, like her ex-husband, who saw only his own wants and needs? Did he even care about Fadia the person or just her sons? ‘Even if she’s not a hundred per cent sure she wants to go?’
‘I believe it is in her best interests, and the best interests of her babies to return to Zandorro.’

‘My word, it is, Miss Carmen.’
