Immediately, the rattling stopped and she took a steadying breath. Thank heavens she’d been of sound mind enough to turn the key in her lock after she sent Jane away. Did one of her father’s guests think to compromise her?
Weston Hadley immediately came to mind, with his dark scowl and even darker scar. She almost wished she could ask him to sleep outside her door to waylay any unwanted late-night guests.
