Excerpt from The Duke and the Lady Gardener
Alexandra straightened her spine as her coachman directed the horses onto the main road. Soon they would be home, and she could put this unfortunate incident behind her. However, as they came around the bend, her eyes widened in horror as the coach she had just waylaid came into view.
“Slow down, Ben! The horses! He may recognize them.”
Her coachman glanced back at her. “Nay, miss, he won’t. They’re in their traces, and I disguised their markings for the attack. Besides, he’d never suspect a lady of being a highwayman, so he oughtn’t to look at your horses with a leery eye.”
“Of course you’re right. Yet the impression I received of him was that he is an uncommonly perceptive gentleman. I hoped he would have been well on his way by now.” She chewed her bottom lip. “We must stay as far back as possible until we turn off to Grantham Place.” Even as Ben drew on the reins, the carriage in front of them came to a halt, blocking their way on the narrow road.
As Ben halted as well, a groom jumped down from his perch to open the coach door and let down the step. Alexandra held her breath as the dark gentleman emerged. He stood immobile in the road for a while before bowing politely in her direction. Alexandra inclined her head in response. He was very tall, well over six feet, and his shoulders were uncommonly broad, filling out his well-cut jacket impressively. Her wary gaze came to rest on the strong line of his jaw and the uncompromising set of his mouth and chin.
All in all, it was a thoroughly disagreeable face.
