The Duke’s Obsession Bundle (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Just brushed out Emmie’s hair for her and braided it in a single plait. She helped him finish undressing and let him assist her out of her clothes. As he built up the fire, she used the wash water then climbed on the bed to watch as he made his ablutions. When he lay on his back beside her—not touching her if it killed him—Emmie reached for his hand under the covers. He closed his fingers around hers and sighed. It was going to be a long damned night in any event. “Winnie has a trust, you know,” he said, apropos of nothing. “A trust? You’ve created this for her already?” “I did not,” St. Just said, taking some comfort in the prosaic topic. “The old earl set it up as part of his estate—she was his only grandchild, after all, but as Helmsley was the trustee, more effort was spent trying to plunder the estate assets than manage them.” “Is the trust bankrupted?” “It is not,” St. Just said, not even aware his thumb was brushing over the inside of Emmie’s wrist.
