The Kidnapped Bride
“He jumped down at the front, handing the reins to Beck, who then drove oh around the house. She expected his lordship to come to her immediately, but he did not. Instead, after a long wait, Tom came with a small trunk.

Sarah stared after them, torn between wanting to find Darcy and hear what had happened and wanting to see w...hat was in the trunk. The trunk won.
