Hoarfrost (Whyborne & Griffin Book 6) - Plot & Excerpts
My mind still half-fogged with sleep, I froze, my heart leaping with a blind panic because I snuggled against Griffin’s back. Then memory caught up: we were expected to be in bed together in this freezing, rough place. And the other voice belonged to Iskander, who would not think our close contact innocent. My face burned, and I wondered if I could crawl under the covers and hide. Griffin, who lay to the outside of the bunk, had propped himself up on one elbow and cheerfully discussed archaeology with Iskander. How could he be so casual, talking to someone else with me lying right here beside him, as though there was nothing at all out of the ordinary about it? “The permafrost would present a challenge,” Iskander said. Thick leather scraped against one of the wooden rafters as he pulled down his parka. “At this latitude, the ground is frozen year-round. Even if we returned in the summer we’d be faced with some of the same difficulties.” “Not to mention the problems of getting workers and supplies to such a remote location.”
