These Haunted Hearts: a Regency Ghost Story
“Josiah staggered back to escape the preposterous accusation. Appalled denial kept him silent as he stared aghast at Isabella. But even while everything in him rejected what she’d said, the day’s confusing hints about his wicked reputation and his woeful fate slammed into him. Over and over. Until he wanted to scream “enough!”
“No.” The word emerged as a croak.
The unwavering certainty in Isabella’s eyes. The certainty combined with fear in a woman who would have faced down the devil without fli...nching. These, these almost convinced him.
Almost… He could never have killed her. Never. Never.
Never.
Nothing she did would stir him to violence. There must be some mistake, some misunderstanding. He clung to that one waning hope while all other hope drained away.
Like biting down on a cracked tooth, he tested the truth of her assertion against what he knew of himself. If he’d killed her, he’d feel it in his bones, in his blood.
No, on his honor, no.
