Adair of Starlight Peaks
There was no trust. How could love last?

Jane Grey was aware that Broderic Adair resented her intrusion into her grandmother. Esmeralda's life. She knew he regarded her and her family as spongers on the bounty of an old lady.

What does it have to do with you, Mr. Adair? she asked icily. You're not even a relative!

Hero: Broderic Adair
