Harlequin Historical November 2015, Box Set 2 Of 2 (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
It is most urgent,’ Mary begged the stone-faced footman who guarded the closed front doors of the royal palace. ‘What does this regard, senhorita?’ he asked. ‘The ladies are with Her Royal Highness right now and should not be disturbed. It is the siesta hour.’ Mary glanced back over her shoulder at the plaza. It seemed rather early for any kind of ‘siesta’. She had left the house as soon after breakfast as she could, right after her father left for his own work, and the square was crowded with people coming and going from the market.
