Diana took a deep breath, her tone steady as she began. “Samuel, let me make something clear. Queenie’s target was never you. It was always your cousin, Cecil.

At the time, Samuel hadn’t seen Queenie as anything but charming. He’d been caught in her web of promises.

But now? He’d been burned twice.
