The Unclaimed Duchess (2010)
“It was a hard rain, one that sometimes caused the carriage to tremble and made it stuffy and close during the final hour through twisting city traffic. Anne sat alone in the vehicle, this one the fine ducal carriage that had met them along the road the previous day, and watched the droplets drag down the window like teardrops.
At least the weather matched her mood.
The vehicle shivered to a stop and she wiped at the steamy glass with her sleeve. Outside, Rhys sat on his horse, his greatcoat pul...led tightly around his shoulders and his hat low over his eyes to protect them from the rain. She sighed. Even now, sitting at the gate to their London home, her husband already looked more like a duke. It was silly, but he held himself differently somehow.
Would she ever again see the man who had teased her, pleasured her with such abandon, and jumped over the cliffs with her?
The carriage lurched onto the drive and stopped a second time. Anne looked around her, gathering up the few items she’d carried along the road and tucking them into her reticule in preparation for disembarking.MoreLess
