" What about Ian? Are you saying I bamboozled him?”
“Didn’t you?” Hart’s voice was deadly quiet.
“I remember telling Ian quite plainly that I had no interest in marrying again. And then there I was, signing a license and repeating that I’d be with him until death do us part. I believe Ian bamboozled me.”
“Ian is—” Hart broke off and swung away to stare into the multicolored sky.
“What? A madman?”
“No.” The word was harsh. “He’s . . . vulnerable.”
“He’s stubborn and smart and does exactly what he pleases. "
