Stolen Little Thing (Little Thing Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Rain fell, a steady drumbeat on the rooftop and windowpane. He turned back to his bed where Esme lay sleeping. Around her slender neck, she wore the pearls he remembered to give her some time before dawn. Her hair lay cast across the pillow, one tendril over her pale shoulder. The sight of her stirred him, and he wished he could slip back into bed. He buttoned his shirt, pulled on his boots, and walked around the bed to a small table. From a leather pouch, he withdrew the dark green bankbook to look at it for the second time that morning. Esme’s name was written across the front in black ink that over time had faded to a shadowy grey. Judging from the dates, Simon had established the account when she was a small child. Why Simon never told her about the money perplexed Luke, but not as much as the amount in the last column. Esme had inherited a fortune. While Luke was by most estimates a wealthy man, he possessed nowhere near what was in the last entry, over twenty thousand dollars.
