She didn’t want to be part of a lie.
Lise supposed she ought to be grateful to the imperious Conde Leandro de Marco Reyes for helping her out of an awkward situation, but no so grateful that she was willing to repay him as he suggested, by pretending to be his fiancee.
A domineering Spanish nobleman, who took what he wanted as his conquistador ancestors had done, and who regarded women as either chattels or playthings, was not her idea of a comfortable husband.
However, she was in his debt, so she reluctantly agreed to the deception, just for a short time.
