Bride for a Night
“Not that the plodding farm animal offered the speed he would have wished for, but the beast was sure-footed, and even with the burden of both Gabriel and Talia, he managed a steady pace that had them arriving at the coast just south of Calais well before dusk.
Halting long enough to vault to the ground, Gabriel took the reins and led the animal along the narrow path that led to the water.
“Are you certain your ship will be waiting?” Talia demanded, her face pale with weariness, although her spi...ne remained stiff with the determination that made him smile.
