Never Wager Against Love (Kellington book Three)
“Arthur was surprised his voice was so calm, when he was so very frightened for Vanessa. “She’s safe. For the time being. But she won’t be if you don’t do as I say. Do you have the spike?”
“Do you have Vanessa?”
Frederick Mortimer smiled, as if he enjoyed toying with him. “I told you she was safe, didn’t I?”
“I want to see her.”
“If you’re not careful with your demands, you’ll see her falling off the bridge.” He turned back and barked out an order, then pulled Vanessa to the side of the br...idge so Arthur could see her. She was obviously angry, but appeared unharmed. Arthur’s relief was immense. He was glad she’d lost none of her spirit, but he couldn’t let Frederick Mortimer see his feelings for Vanessa or he’d use them against him. “Where’s Sir Lawrence?”
“That boor?” asked Mortimer. “He’s also here. The lovely Portia is holding a gun to his head. I have a deal for you, Kellington. Give me the spike and I’ll let them go unharmed.”MoreLess
