Hannah immediately swooped Eleanor up and, with a friendly arm around her shoulder, guided her into the castle. Brice tossed the reins to a waiting groom and said to Lachlan, “Meet me in the lists,” before striding off. He was so filled with fury that he couldn’t speak. He’d never been this angry...
Since Sara had arrived, the drawing room had been filled almost constantly with people calling, and when that happened he tried to avoid the room. She was sitting at a small writing desk, a pile of papers next to her, a pen in hand. She was deep in thought, her lower lip caught between her teeth,...
His knee was pulled up, his elbow resting on it as the warm spring breeze brushed through his hair. She’d awakened alone but, by the warmth of the sheets, had determined that he had arisen just moments before. She tried not to let the fact that he didn’t linger in bed bother her.

Maggie was nearly jumping out of her skin while she waited for it. She was so full of anticipation that she was literally hopping from foot to foot. Colin shot her a small smile as he stood in front of Abbott’s door. Maggie could have sworn they stood there for an hour, but in reality they’d been...
“Well,” Gabrielle said. “He was certainly interesting.” Sebastian grunted an unintelligible reply. “Where did you meet him?” she asked. “He’s a friend of the family.” She raised her brows. “Does your family often consort with pirates and thieves?” “You’d be surprised.” At that cryptic remark, the...
He and Tess had never thought this day would come. Two weeks late, but it had arrived.He stopped and looked back. Sam was crouched down at a cart parked to the side, intently studying the wheels.

She was magnificent, still dressed in her emerald gown, her face flushed, her hair half-falling out of the pins. She was a leader, no doubt about it. The men followed her every command, offering comments here and there, but always deferring to her. She was also furious with him, evidenced by the ...
