“Although she thought that she had prepared herself, she realized she was nonetheless a little breathless.After her conversation with young Ranulf, it did not surprise her that Gareth's eyes showed no trace of an evening spent drinking Nicholas into the rushes.

That was certainly where hers had gone during that first, dangerous evening when she had found herself a virtual prisoner in Se...abern Keep.She had escaped Nicholas that night after encouraging him to drink his fill. Then she had rushed upstairs to a tower chamber and locked herself inside.Clare had spent the next three days there, ignoring Nicholas's rage, his threats, and the pounding on the door. She had managed to free herself one afternoon when, frustrated by his failure to convince Clare that she must wed him, Nicholas had gone hunting.It occurred to Clare now that if her captor had been the Hellhound, she likely would not have escaped.Gareth looked even larger this morning than she had remembered.MoreLess
