Soldier Of Fortune: The King's Courtesan (Rakes And Rogues Of The Retoration Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Her swollen face was iced for twenty minutes every hour. She felt sorry for creating so much work for the new maid, whose job it was to trek back and forth from the straw-and-sawdust-lined icehouse deep in the cellar. The ice and possets seemed to be doing the trick, though. The pain was down to a manageable roar and she could open her eye again, though the effort hurt and burned. It was still hard to read or eat or drink, and she had little to do but listen to Rose’s chatter and play on her bed with Daisy. The kitten’s antics kept her amused for awhile but she was getting restless. Her husband was a tyrant. He’d given orders she was not to leave her bed until he said so, but he’d hardly visited her over the past three days other than to poke his head in her room and leave. She had a vague recollection of him staying by her side the day she was injured and even telling her a story late into the night, but she was beginning to think she had imagined it. It had been about Robin Hood after all, and everyone knew laudanum could make people imagine some very strange things.
