Courting An Angel (1995)
“Damn, but his wife was a terrible pain in the arse, Gordon thought. How would he keep his sanity during the next two weeks on their journey across the long length of England and Scotland from London to Argyll? For that matter, how would he survive the next forty years married to her?
Murder leaped into his mind, but Gordon dismissed that outrageous idea out of hand. Gone were the good old days when a nobleman could dispatch a nagging wife and never answer for the deed in a court of law.
Reachin...g the end of the Strand, they’d veered to the left at Charing Cross and started down Oxford Street. The more distance they put between Devereux House and themselves, the safer his wife apparently felt. Her complaints grew in direct proportion to the miles they placed between her and the queen’s men.
She was cold. She was tired. She was hungry — in spite of the nausea that the smell of the horse droppings elicited in her.
Did she think that he actually enjoyed smelling like shit?
Gordon flicked a sidelong glance at her, the hint of a smile flirting with the corners of his lips.MoreLess
