Mad for the Plaid
“Slowly, like a lion stalking its prey, he left the fence and came toward her, his dark green gaze locked on her face.
She didn’t know him well enough to read his expression—caution or irritation or mere arrogance—so his approach made her heart race even through the boldness now swimming through her blood, brought on by the sting of the cigar and the harsh drink she’d imbibed. What will he do?
Her brain calmed her galloping heart. He has nothing to gain by frightening me, and everything to lose.... He’s here because of his grandmother, and I know all there is to know about her disappearance.
Ailsa could only thank the fates that had brought her home at such a providential moment, for it had allowed her to witness unseen the prince’s conversation with his men. Although she hadn’t been able to hear a word of it, there had been no doubting the commanding way this “groom” had spoken to the others, or the respectful bow made by Mr. Rurik, or the hissing warning it instantly won from Lord Apraksin.MoreLess
