Devlin's Montana Bride (Sweet, Clean Western Historical Romance)(Montana Ranchers Brides Series)
“She reached out across the empty bed and recalled that Devlin had no place by her side. Not yet.
The early morning light filtered through the thin curtains and filled the small room. The bedroom was plainly furnished with a dressing table, a wardrobe (empty of her own clothes for the moment), and a sideboard upon which was an empty jug and bowl. The bed she lay in, alone, was wide enough for two. She felt momentarily small in the large bed. She'd slept deeply after the events of the previous day, having been overcome by an intense exhaustion upon lying down. She'd made her way upstairs after the meal, walking slowly along the hallway, passing what should have been the room she and her new husband would have shared under normal circumstances. But these were not normal circumstances. This was not a normal marriage. Devlin's words at the dinner table the previous night had only driven that truth home harder than she would have liked.
It was a marriage in name only, no matter what she'd... allowed herself to begin to think.MoreLess
