The Forced Marriage
“‘As you still can’t face cappuccino. They say shock can do that to you.’Some shocks certainly could, Flora thought grimly as she took the container from her assistant with a word of thanks and a smile. Nor was it just cappuccino. She was also off espresso, latte and anything else tall and Italian.Three jumpy days had passed since the aborted mugging and its even more disturbing aftermath.
