With Her Kiss (Swords Of Passion) - Plot & Excerpts
He had more than seventy miles to cover, a ride that would normally take seven or more hours, keeping his horses at a steady trot. But he could not drive his mounts like that without a break. Nor could his men survive such an ordeal without hazard to their health. Geoff knew he would need gold coin and plenty of it. Plus he’d need a thief’s hardiness to make that distance in cloak of night and preferably before dawn. But he tried. None of his fine Arabian horses served him or his men as well as he wished. By dawn, with a downpour soaking through his layers of clothing, he urged his men onward. His nine knights, drenched to the bone, had left their own exhausted or injured animals tethered to tree limbs near a farrier’s hut as gifts in trade for the poor man’s steeds. When songbirds filled the morning air with news of a sunny day, Geoff sent out Reginald, the sergeant of his guard, in advance to gather any news of raiding Welshmen or supporters of John. Thankfully, he returned, reporting to his retinue that he had met none.
