Beyond The Pale: A Thin Veil Novella (The Thin Veil Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Kier tried not to notice the glow in his cheeks and the extra vigor in his step. He spent the first day after his return with his Council, and then his steward, Ruadhan, and Ruadhan’s wife, Riona, joined them for dinner. Kier was fond of Riona, and they often chatted easily while their husbands discussed Council business. During this meal, however, Kier could not feign interest in the goings-on of their friends and neighbors and Riona’s young sons Diarmuid and Fionnbharr. She kept glancing at Brogan, wondering how he would receive the news she had to give him, trying to not picture what his lover looked like. “Are you all right, Your Majesty?” Riona asked in a low voice, leaning in close to her. “You seem distracted tonight.” “I’m fine,” Kier said automatically. She had asked Riona to call her by her name, but Riona insisted on using the proper titles. “I know it must be difficult when the king goes away,” Riona said, a sympathetic look in her eyes. “But remember, he always comes back…to you.”
