A Scoundrel's Surrender
“He had been doing this for the past quarter of an hour and had counted fifty-three times that he had restlessly paced the room. Justin sat on the settee across the chamber from him and his brother watched his every step, almost as if he was counting them as well.
Finally, with a shake of his head like he was waking from a dream, Justin stood up.
“How are you holding up?” his brother asked.
Caleb stopped mid-stride, the nervous accounting of his steps dissolving from his mind. In jus...t a few short moments he would be escorted upstairs to see the man who had raised him.
He would be forced to face the very thing he had run from, hidden from for two long years. But there would be no more of that. Not when he had to look the marquis and his own lying mother directly in their faces.
And behind those thoughts of grief and anxiety were others about a person not even in this home.MoreLess
