Divine
“Only the candelabra at Sebastian’s elbow provided a small pool of light. After days of rain, the weather had finally lifted, leaving the night air chill, hinting at winter. The firelight flickered, casting weary shadows on the books and dark wood.
A large window to the left of the room rattled.
Sebastian had arrived only that afternoon. In his haste to rush to Lyndenbrooke, his horse had come up lame, forcing him to spend the previous night in a cramped inn.
Once arriving, he had gone first to ...Lyndenbrooke only to find Georgiana was not there. And, even worse, she had not visited Lyndenbrooke for years, since before her illness.
After his desperate, mad dash to reach her, the devastation—the depth of the deception—left him speechless.

He had then ridden the two miles to Stratton Hall nearby.MoreLess
