«Speculative Risk» by Catherine Carson

Dr Francesca Baldini first met Grant Marsh at her eldest brother Antonio’s marriage to Lucy Chivington, but as a gauche seventeen year old she knew the sophisticated twenty-five year old would never give her a second look.
Some six years later Grant was holding her close as they waltzed at her brother Carlo’s wedding but her happiness was short lived as her father’s disapproval was apparent.
Grant decided that the Baldini wrath was worth facing as he pursued Francesca but the repercussions from that dance were to come back to haunt him when Francesca discovered his initial reason for asking her.
