The Smuggler's Captive Bride
“Keefe Leighton, the earl of Hamilton, gave the boy a push. “Go back and tell the others, then return and wait in the stable. I’ll be out when I’ve got the information.”In the dark and the rain, he couldn’t see Franklin leave, but he knew he would be obeyed. Everyone of his men were loyal to him, and only to him, but tonight something had gone wrong. As he kicked the door of the Bull and Eagle, he cursed the woman he’d seen silhouetted against the stars.His instincts told him it was Miss Laura H...aver, and where she was concerned, his instincts were very active.What was Laura doing here on this precise night? What did she know, and how did she know it? What had her brother told her that he hadn’t been able to communicate to Hamilton?Hamilton needed to know the answers, so he’d abandoned his men as they unloaded casks of brandy and hid them in the caves on the cliffs above the beach. Hamilton had to follow the woman.The taproom was empty. Not even Ernest stood before the fire that sputtered on the hearth, and Hamilton’s gaze probed every corner as he scraped mud off his boots.MoreLess
