Julian exhaled a stream of pale smoke and regarded me with a half smile.
"Mrs. Shaw, do you need a lawyer for your divorce?"
My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly collected myself.
In the original novel, Julian didn't appear this early.
Why was he here?
"I'm not Mrs. Shaw anymore." I put away my pepper spray and met his gaze. "And Mr. Hart, I don't think we're close enough for you to interfere in my business."
Julian raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by my response.
He leaned in slightly.
"I'm not interfering." His deep voice carried a dangerous, seductive edge. "I'm here to recruit you."
"Me?"
I gave a cold laugh.
"I'm just a cast-off wife who walked out on the Shaw family. You went to all this trouble to rescue me. What exactly do you want?"
Julian didn't answer immed
