The Fall Of Lord Drayson (Tanglewood Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
As he did, he glanced at Lucy, who was still hard at work, trimming and yanking weeds from the ground near her still-dormant rose bushes. In their current state, they appeared tangled, untamed, and gnarly, and yet she treated them with a light touch, trimming a stem back here, overturning the dirt there, and humming all the while. She always hummed, and he was becoming quite fond of the sound. A rosy hue ripened her cheeks, and even in an old muslin dress, with her hair pulling free from the pins beneath her drab bonnet, she looked lovely. Her movements were graceful, her smile delightful, and the lines of her body beautiful. As she bent and stretched, crouched and snipped, Collins noticed every curve. He found himself unaccountably drawn to her. Lucy had a way of making him feel renewed and invigorated, as though he had just returned from a fast-paced ride through the country on an animal built for speed. Collins frowned at his thoughts, wondering where the comparison had come from. Though he could not remember ever taking such a ride—Athena was most certainly not built for speed—he knew he had, just as he knew riding was his favorite sport and that he enjoyed a good hunt every once in a while.
