The Seduction of Miss Amelia Bell (2014)
“It didn’t matter that he didn’t own a horse to get him to his destination more quickly; soon he would have more gold than all his clan put together.
He laughed to himself at his good fortune. Imagine, the Duke of Queensberry’s niece at Ravenglade, kidnapped by a MacGregor. Bastard outlaws. If he’d had a pistol he would have shot the miscreant who flung his dagger at poor George in Ravenglade’s garden. He and George had gone to Ravenglade that night to finally kill Malcolm Grant, heir to the... castle the Buchanans had wanted for so long. His clan had lost a lot of men upon Grant’s return a few days ago and Ennis and George sought restitution. It wasn’t difficult to get inside Ravenglade’s fortified walls. Unbeknownst to the Grants, Ennis’s kin had dug tunnels beneath the shallow moat, behind the castle, long ago.
His feet hurt. He’d been walking for almost two days now. He could have made it to the city sooner, but he’d stopped to sleep and then to eat, and then for a bit of sport in the bed of a widow who had agreed to give him water as he passed through her village.MoreLess
