The Rogue Prince (2010)
“She did not want to face Shefford now, not with her obvious flush and disheveled appearance, for he would surely grasp that something had happened.
And she did not want to share any part of it with him.
What she’d just experienced was far beyond anything she’d thought possible, and she shuddered with an eager anticipation of her tryst with Thomas upon the morrow. She refused to feel any guilt at all.
Somehow, she managed to keep her legs working after entering the house. She walked quietly to t...he stairs, anxious to get to her own bedchamber, hoping to avoid Shefford and whatever reason he had for coming for her so early. Her stepbrother could just bide his time until they had to leave for their meeting with Julian’s solicitor.
The house was quiet, but for the sound of voices in the drawing room, and as Maggie crept past the closed door, she heard Shefford’s voice, in discussion with another man. She kept walking until his words stopped her cold.
