A Brazen Bargain: Spies And Lovers, Book 2 (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
Her gaze caught on the smallest details. Dust motes danced over the bed and leaves bounced outside the window, casting dappled, movable shadows. Individual blue threads of her canopy wove in and out of gold and cream to form delicate flowers. Her body too was sensitive. The sheet and her night rail abraded her breasts and lay heavy on her skin. It had been no dream. Her imagination could never have done it justice. Forcing herself up, she was a bit sore, but no worse than after a long ride. She avoided the looking glass, didn’t want to see the guilt and longing and sadness warring behind her eyes. Was she to act as if nothing had happened? And how was she to pretend she didn’t love him? She struggled to dress herself. Jenny’s cheerful chattering would drive her around the bend. Her stomach sick with nerves, she left her room, looking back at her cold, empty bed. There was nothing for it but to confront reality. If he treated her as a stranger, she would retreat for a good cry and then force herself to do the same to him.
