Highland Intrigue (Duncurra Book Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
He had been encouraged by her obvious physical reaction to him. During the first month of their marriage, he had done his best to woo her, but in spite of all his efforts she seemed rigidly determined to remain as distant as possible. That was until the evening they spent playing chess. They hadn’t talked about anything terribly important. She told him about her family and friends and various other members of the clan. He told her about the MacIans and what it was like training under Laird Chisholm. All in all, it had been a very congenial evening. When they finally retired she seemed less tense than she had earlier and sleep had come easier to both of them. For the next several evenings it became their pattern to spend time alone, playing chess, before retiring. They chatted about a variety of things from the progress on the curtain wall to Ailsa’s newest attempts to get their mother to let her have a pet. They assiduously avoided any mention of her father or his mother.
