The Runaway Countess (2013)
“The drying ruts of mud sucked at her sturdy boots, but couldn’t hold her down. ‘Your leg…’ ‘It’s much better,’ he insisted with a laugh. ‘You don’t need to fuss any more, Jane. I know I’m capable of walking into the village without collapsing.’ Jane had to laugh, too. She was fussing, even though it was quite clear Hayden could take care of himself. For the last two days, since their dinner alone and the kiss that sent her life spinning, he had worked in the garden, cleaning flowerbeds with her... between the rains. He dug through the piles of old books in the library with Emma. He played cards with her in the evenings, much to her giggling delight. He took Murray for walks.
And he drank only small amounts of wine and walked her to her chamber door every night, leaving her with a kiss on the cheek. She wasn’t sure if she was relieved or disappointed by that sweet salute. Kissing, and all the delicious things that went along with it, were always the things the two of them got exactly right.MoreLess
