By Grace Possessed
“Ross swore silently, certain he’d slept on rocky ground more comfortable. He would give thought to getting up and joining the men-at-arms in the stable, except Cate had finally fallen asleep. She seemed to have discovered a mattress to her liking, as she was lying more on him than on the miserable excuse for a bed.
Not that he minded. Her weight and soft curves satisfied him in some curious way. Odd, that, when she might be a murderess.
The attack this evening was no random incident by a roving... outlaw band. The men had been disciplined, well mounted and protected by chain mail. They had chosen their trap well, and waited for the perfect time to spring it. He’d wager his firstborn son that Trilborn was behind it. Ross’s only question was whether Cate had known it was coming.
Conceited though it might be, he found it difficult to believe she would prefer Trilborn to him. Still, who knew the mind of a woman? It was possible she felt an Englishman would be easier to understand, less difficult to manage.MoreLess
