The Wolves Of St. Peter's (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Peter’s CHAPTER TEN HOW MUCH OF A HEAD START DID SUSANNA HAVE? A HALF-HOUR AT most? But even if he ran, could he really hope to catch her before she reached The Turk’s old villa? Because that was where she’d gone. He was sure of it. It had grown colder, his breath in the fading light of late afternoon coming out in white puffs. The drizzle of the morning had turned to sleet, coating everything with a malevolent layer of ice. He slipped on a patch of cobblestone, breaking his fall with a painful wrench to his wrist. Cursing, he picked himself up and ran out of the alley toward the bridge. Of course Susanna wouldn’t wait for his permission. She thought she was losing him, thought there’d be no more talk of his father’s home in Florence or the hot springs. Not that he’d made any promises, but he knew he’d led her to believe it would happen. And while he might not have been sure of his feelings before, he was now. Susanna was not the kind of girl a man of his position fell in love with, but he had nonetheless.
