The Marriage Contract
“Dancing with him on the beach had been a magic moment. She knew he had pulled her close. His hand on her waist had lingered possessively, and in the depths of his eyes, she’d seen longing…longing for her. She’d despaired of ever meeting a man who would look at her in such a way. A man she could in turn love, honor, and respect. A man like Aidan.
But now, he was back to the domineering, in-control man who was laird of Kelwin Castle.
“Be careful,” she murmured.
His proud, devil-may-care grin flashed at her. “I’m always careful. Now, go inside.”
Anne submissively did as he’d ordered, herding Cora and the children in front of her. But once inside, obedience ended.
Aidan had secrets. She’d heard Major Lambert’s name before. In a second, she remembered: Sir Rupert had asked Lady Waldo about a Major Lambert. He’d been worried when he’d said the name. At the time, every one of Anne’s senses had screamed a warning.
Now, a sense of foreboding even stronger than before shuddered through her.
