The Duke's Lady (Historical Romance - the Ladies Series)
“Did she know what she asked of him?
But he knew tonight he’d behave. He would be content just to hold her, for she was just a lost soul, and he knew how cruel the world could be. Adam found he didn’t want to be alone either.
Turning the wick down, he laid her head on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair until he heard her soft, even breathing. How small and fragile she felt in his arms. He ached to kiss her and make her forget about the other man. And make him forget that he k...new nothing of the lovely woman he held in his arms. But he settled on her trust. Deep down he felt she’d trusted him with her life and she wasn’t wrong . . . he’d kill any man that tried to hurt her.
Chapter Nine The overcast October sky made the morning dampness seem just that much cooler as Adam rode away from Briercliff.
He inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with cool, crisp air as he tried to shake the cobwebs from his brain.MoreLess
