Excerpt:
Barnaby led Millicent toward a
grove of trees. When they were deep enough in the copse that they couldn’t be
seen, he pulled her into his arms and brought her close to him.
“I will move heaven and earth to
see that doesn’t happen.”
His words were laced with husky
emotion that wrapped his simple statement in unquestionable promise. He tightened
his arms around her and lowered his head.
Their lips touched, and he kissed
her with the desperation he’d felt since they’d begun their walk.
She matched his kisses and
wrapped her arms around his neck to hold him close to her.
Barnaby skimmed her lips with his
tongue, and she opened to allow him entry. The emotions that surged through him
were almost his undoing. He wanted her. Her warning not to care for her
affected him like the breeze that washed over them. No words could stop the feelings
that had already taken root. Her prediction might be true. It was possible that
one of them wouldn’t survive this mission, but that person wouldn’t be her. He
couldn’t let her leave her brother and sister. They needed her as much as she
needed them.
He deepened his kiss, and she met
his entreaty without hesitation.
He wouldn’t allow anything to
happen to her. He couldn’t. He couldn’t live the remainder of his life without
her. That thought was unbearable.
He kissed her once more, then
lifted his mouth from hers. But he didn’t release her. He couldn’t bring
himself to be separated from her.
“Oh, Barnaby,” she gasped. “How
did this happen? Why did you allow it?”
He smiled and ran his hands over
her shoulders and her back. She pressed her cheek to his chest, and he knew she
could hear his racing heart thunder in her ear.
“You said you needed to leave.
Where are you going?”
“To your home. To Cliffside Manor.”
She pulled away from him and
lifted her gaze. The look in her eyes was filled with confusion. “Why?”
“Since the night I was attacked,
Radburn’s men have been watching me. They’re watching the area above the
cliffs. I’ll never be able to enter through the door over your sister’s grave.
Which means I have to find another way. From the caves at the bottom of the
cliffs.”
She thought for a moment, then
nodded. “That makes sense. When are you going?”
“Tomorrow. I can’t afford to
wait. We’re running out of time.”
“I don’t know, Barnaby. It’s
dangerous. The rocks, the tide, they—”
He pulled her to him and stopped
her with a kiss.
When at last he could force
himself to let her go, he smiled.
“I know, love, I’ll be careful.”
She turned and looped her arm
through his. He knew she wasn’t satisfied with his answer. But her trust meant
the world to him.
