The Rebel Captain's Royalist Bride (2014)
“It was plainly but adequately furnished and the bed was comfortable, but for the moment he was too restless to lie down. He wondered what it was about the Royalist girl with the bold eyes that had driven deep into his mind, reaching beneath the barrier he had built to keep out the pain.
He’d thought after his sweet Jane died he would be immune to a woman’s wiles, but for some reason Mistress Babette had pricked him into constant awareness. She was the kind of woman that aroused a man’s sens...es, but it was not entirely that... No, there was a spark of pride in her eyes and humour, a spirit that had not been crushed by her uncle’s strict rules.
Despite himself, James liked the way she had stood up to him in the woods, the way she matched him in thought and did not turn down her eyes as most women. There was no false modesty about her; she was prepared to speak out in defence of her beliefs, even though she knew his were opposite.
She was an industrious, thoughtful young woman, eager to work and help her aunt in the house.MoreLess
