A Pirate for Christmas: a Regency Novella
“He tugged a sledge half full of holly, ivy, and pinecones. They were both dressed as they’d been on their first afternoon together, in coats, boots, scarves and thick gloves. Again, Bess had borrowed a spare greatcoat to wear over her own more feminine pelisse.
Around them, the woods were dim and silent. It was midafternoon, but heavy cloud turned the light to gloaming. Senses honed through a thousand storms at sea told him bad weather was on the way. They probably shouldn’t stay out much l...onger, but he was loath to end these private moments with Bess.
They’d joined a group collecting greenery for the house. Then as had so often happened these last few days, the others had drifted away to leave him alone with Bess. If his courtship failed, he couldn’t blame local opposition. The villagers had done everything they could to promote his wooing.
A wooing that left him puzzled and frustrated and enchanted. The more he saw of Bess, the more he liked her.MoreLess
