When a Scot Ties the Knot (2015)
“Maddie immediately rued her foolish words.
“Don’t be absurd,” she said.
“I willna be absurd. I mean to be incendiary.”
Maddie wished she could think of a tart, sophisticated reply to set him in his place and get herself out of this. But the brisk wind whipping at her skirts seemed to have stolen her wits, as well.
So in lieu of a sophisticated reply, she made a juvenile one.
She stammered nonsense for a moment, then panicked and fled.
The winding path back to the castle ...was suddenly much too long. Maddie needed to be home at once. Home in her bed, inside a cozy tent of pillows and blankets.
With Logan safely on the other side of the bolted door.
Lifting her hem, she left the footpath and began a route straight overland, walking as fast as the muddy ground would allow her.
