Wake Me With a Kiss: a Fairy Tale Retelling (Regency Fairy Twists book 1)
“The past few days had insisted on being breezy and cool. After a morning in the garden, she likely looked like a haystack. Pausing to admire her work, she stood and gathered the bundles of herbs, ready for hanging.
Before she could head into the storeroom, Miss Taylor hurried down the garden path toward her. Rose scowled. From the look of her face, something terrible had happened, and Miss Taylor rarely looked so harried. None of the women in Aunt May’s house were the calmest of ladies, but the... housekeeper was usually the one most likely to keep her head.
A knot of dread tangled in her stomach, and she hurried to meet her. “What is it?”
The housekeeper took a deep breath. “Miss Rose, there’s—there’s a gentleman here.”
Rose opened her mouth then closed it then opened it again. They never received visitors. No wonder Miss Taylor was in a flap.
“Who is it?”
“A-A man in a kilt,” she hissed. “I think it’s the laird. I heard tell he’s a highlander.”
All the blood seemed to rush from her face and fill her boots.MoreLess
