After the Storm
“Sally paced as she waited for Hugh to emerge from his chambers. Even her mother’s stern, ‘Sit and be still!’ didn’t halt her stride. Her belly churned, sending a wave of nausea rippling through her, and then anger struck and the nausea turned spicy hot.
Her cheeks burned each time she pictured her Hugh striding out of the thicket of trees with that harlot several paces before him. How dare she look so smug, so— It couldn’t possibly be as innocent as the duchess tried to convince her earlier. Su...rely Miss Miranda MacDonough didn’t have enough decency, enough…sense…to keep her hands to herself where Hugh was concerned. Hugh would never betray her in so vile a manner. If anything had happened, Miranda was the cause. She had to be. No other scenario was possible. Sally planned to make certain the little wench knew exactly what happened when one ran afoul of her.
But that had to wait. First and foremost, Sally wanted to hear from Hugh’s own lips that nothing happened between him and the Scottish whore.MoreLess
