Hugh Glynn had disposed of Lady Gethin's risky Honduras shares when talk of Travers Deering's fascination with an unknown girl gave the Paris morning a sharper edge. Your money is safe for now, Lady Gethin, but the people who profit from rumours are rarely safe themselves. You step into this one-chapter preview with Hugh Glynn at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Then the trail begins here, but the girl must remain a person while we follow it. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
