Keira's lips twitched as she caught Scarlet South staring at her, clearly waiting for an answer.
She cleared her throat lightly and glanced back toward the room behind her.
Should she throw Lewis under the bus, or turn Scarlet down?
The answer, of course, was to turn her down.
For one, handing over her man just like that would be absurd—especially considering the dramatic love story they'd sold to the South family. Besides, if she gave in too easily, Lewis would probably explode from jealousy.
Back in Clance, that man would get jealous at the drop of a hat—jealous over men, jealous over women, he even got jealous of Amy, for heaven's sake.
The man was possessive. No doubt about it.
Best not to poke the bear.
Keira lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry, Miss South. Solomon and I are in love. He gave up everything he had back home for me. We've been through life and death together. Even if he lost his memory, I still can't just hand him over."
