Angel and the Assassin 3: Sins of the Father

You’ll keep quiet about her and the maid.”
    “Yes, Sir. But does Sharon know who he is?”
    “No. She never knew his name. And she hardly caught a glimpse of his face, so
    she wouldn’t recognize him, unless she saw him standing beside me, I suppose. And
    that’s never going to happen. She need never know his name. I wish I didn’t know it
    either.”
    His life would never be the same again now he knew.
    Conran placed a hand on his arm and squeezed gently. “You’d a right to know. I
    couldn’t keep the information from you. The physical resemblance you share is striking.
    He’s going to be very prominently in the public eye in the next few years. Others will
    notice too.”
    The blue sky overhead seemed to be mocking the darkness in Kael’s heart at that
    moment. “It’s the other resemblance that concerns me. The essence of the man. The
    attitudes, the morality—or lack of it—the cruelty. I’ve got his genes. It explains a lot.”

    Looking nervous, Conran glanced at Angel. “Saunders, we’ve talked about this.
    Don’t start questioning yourself. You know exactly who you are.”
    Angel kissed Kael’s cheek. “I know who Daddy is too. He’s the best man in the
    world. My Daddy. My hero.”
    Kael took the papers from Conran’s hands, folded them carefully, and put them
    into the pocket of his shorts. “But let’s not dwell on it. We have another couple of miles
    to run. Care to join us?”
    With a little self-deprecating laugh, Conran said, “I could never keep up with you,
    Saunders, not in any area of life. I wouldn’t even try.”
    “Are you sure? When we get home, Angel’s going to show me how to play games
    on his Xbox. We’re going to play Assassin’s Creed .”
    “How appropriate,” Conran said quietly as Kael rose and Angel followed suit.
    Side by side, Kael ran along the river with his boy. Their steps were perfectly in
    unison, their breathing the same.
    All I can do is try to be as good as my boy thinks I am.

    I grew up in Liverpool, England, with a great love of books and the English
    language. As an adult I moved to Canada, but I return to England to visit every few
    years to remind myself of my roots. I love writing and I love romance, so bringing the
    two together is a perfect fit. Precious Jade, my first published book, was inspired by a
    visit to the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, in early 2009. I have always had a fascination with
    assassins and could not resist writing about one in my series, Angel and the Assassin .
