      “I know what that is on your upper arm!” Madeleine hotly accused. Armand de Chevalier smiled, said nothing. “How dare you wear my garter for all the world to see!” she raged.

      “Now, Maddie, no one but you and I know that it’s your garter.”

      Unconvinced, she charged, “You are bent on ruining my life simply because I…because we…”

      “Made memorable love in a summer’s storm?” He softly finished her sentence.

      “Shhh!” she hissed. “Give that garter back to me!”

      “Can’t do that,” he said, lifting then lowering his wide shoulders. “It’s my good luck charm. Besides, it’s all I have of you.”

      “It’s all you’ll ever have of me, de Chevalier!”

      “Ah, you’re wrong there, Maddie,” he said with irritating cockiness. “You know you are.” A sudden warmth radiated from his eyes when he added, “One day we’ll be together again.”

      Countess Madeleine Cavendish swallowed with difficulty. Then she narrowed her eyes and promised him in a soft, acid-laced voice, “You’re the one who’s wrong, Creole. That day will never come!”

      “Yes, it will, chérie.” He smiled seductively and predicted, “Perhaps sooner than you think.”

      Nan Ryan “writes beautifully. Her style, plotting and characterizations are skillfully developed.”
