Frost’s face darkened. “What gives you the right to speak for Miss Hathaway and her family?â€
Cam saw no reason to be discreet. “I’m going to marry her.â€
Frost nearly dropped the iron bar. “Don’t be absurd. Amelia would never marry you.â€
“Why not?â€
“Good God,†Frost exclaimed incredulously, “how can you ask that? You’re not a gentleman of her class, and … hell and damnation, you’re not even a real Gypsy. You’re a mongrel.â€
“All the same, I’m going to marry her.â€
“I’ll see you in hell first!†Frost cried, taking a step toward him.
“Either drop that bar,†Cam said quietly, “or I’ll dislocate your arm.†He sincerely hoped Frost would take a swing at him. To his disappointment, Frost set the bar on the ground.
