His Beautiful Wench
“Matilda kneeled at the top of the stairs and peered down.
“It’s nearly time,” she said then rose, closing the trapdoor.
A lump filled Amelia’s throat and she leaned toward the cabinet and lit the lamp. Reclining once more, she rolled to her side and stared at Emmett, still sleeping, facing her.
