Lord Of Deceit (Heiress Games Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
The attics were cleaned regularly, albeit not daily. But even the best-kept rooms, when left closed up, were prone to mustiness. In late August, the hot, still air trapped in Maidenstone’s attics made the rooms less tomb-like than they felt in other seasons — but somehow even more uncomfortable. “I should have expected this,” Rafe muttered behind her. “I despise the heat.” He sounded truly disgruntled. “Cheer up, lieutenant,” she said, as though she really could command him — as though the thought of commanding him wasn’t ludicrous. “I’m sure you experienced worse in Spain. We’ll be done with our mission and away before the heat overcomes us.” “I am a captain, not a lieutenant. But I should be a colonel, at the very least, if I’m to suffer this.” He held up his candle, surveying the first attic. “Does anyone come here at night? Anyone who might catch us?” He’d asked the same question the night before, but he seemed not to trust her answer.
