Bile burned his throat. That woman reminded him of everything he’d tried to forget. And right now, he knew the past and present were about to collide, violently.“Who is that woman?” Kara asked.“A spirit I’d long forgotten.”“Spirit, milord?” Kara’s eyes narrowed. “She appears as real as the boy sh...
When the cart carrying their bodies arrived a week ago, Rachelle’s life spiraled onto a path of destruction. Nothing would ever be the same. Her spirit died that day—hope forever lost.Now, she spent every morning outside in the garden, while priests and servants came and went at all times of the ...
Dressed in another borrowed gown, with her long hair swept to the side, she felt like a different woman. She’d never known the luxury of wearing fine linen and silk. All of her clothes were sensible—wool or leather, often trimmed with fur. The jarl offered her a trencher of cabbage smothered in b...
Noelle twisted to her side and eyed Katherine standing at the doorway with a platter of food. How foolish to think Randvior would give her time to catch up on sleep.“I suppose you’ve been instructed to stay with me at all times,” she commented sarcastically as she gestured for the maid to enter.S...
He arrived an hour ago and offered to drive me home, but I don’t want to ruin his time with Marie. As long as I don’t have to see Charles or that tent again, I’ll survive. Maybe I’m a prude, but sex clubs aren’t something I’m accustomed to. I never imagined anything like that. “Karlie, can I spea...
The club is slammed. I’m still floating after Craig told me he wanted to love me—he makes me so happy. Robyn and Garrick haven’t questioned me about our relationship. Craig and I haven’t discussed Estevan in a week. I hope the asshole dropped off the end of the world. I’ve saved enough money to p...
I’m sure my sister and Robyn haven’t seen each other since the night I left. “Gretchen,” I say with a smile. “You’re back.” She looks at Robyn and her face wilts. “How are you, Robyn?” “Good,” Robyn fibs. “Busy with work and school.” It’s awkward at best. I’m unwilling to let this tension grow in...
Life plans? Downsizing? A new house? School? All great things, but she wants to do it on her own. It’s my fault. And I’m pretty fucking sure there’s nothing I can do to change her mind right now. And that shit about Bishop proposing…I shake my head; I need to talk to my mother. An hour later I’m ...
Part one of his cleanup job was complete. Kline would never harass her again, and he’d surely think twice about stalking another woman. Now for the second phase. He walked through the front door and veered left, toward the open bar. Several tables were occupied already, the big screens turned to ...
By sneaking inside the sanctuary, did she risk the lives of the men who’d protected her growing up? Her answer came in the form of a bone-crushing hug Father Andrew gave her the moment she found him praying in the vestry. “My child…” Her heart beat so fast she felt dizzy. “Father Andrew, how can ...
No one at all was about in the passageway; the whole servants’ quarters appeared deserted. Her imprisonment had been short-lived. Dressed in her best wool gown and her hair painstakingly brushed to a lustrous sheen, she headed to the hall, expecting to find Errol waiting. After he’d left her last...
