The Forgiven Duke (A Forgotten Castles Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
He closed his eyes against the pain of stretching the delicate, healing skin on his back, concentrating instead on chewing the ginger before he opened his eyes.

Matter-of-fact and efficient, he bade Gabriel to sit up and hold his arms out while he unrolled the bandages, took a look at his back, and then spread some new salve on the cuts. He wrapped fresh bandages around him and then stood back and cocked his head to one side with a thoughtful look on his face. “Healing nicely,” he mouthed clearly, taking Gabriel’s chin and studying his eyes. “How’s the rest of you?” “Sick to death of this stinking hellhole.”
