СКАЧАТЬ Beth related moments from her past with her mother, Antoine recognized that Beth was not only beautiful, but loyal to those she loved.

      She told him about having to forgo college to help support herself and her mother, but there was no complaint in her voice, merely a stating of facts.

      He liked that about her. He had no patience for whiners. He and Sebastian hadn’t been allowed to whine after the murder of his parents.

      “So, what did you do before you became one of the rulers of Barajas?” she asked.

      “I was a military man.” He raised his coffee cup to take a drink, hoping a sip of coffee would wash away the sour taste that always sprang to his mouth when he thought of the things he’d done for the sake of his country.

      “And you? When you were young did you dream of being a ballerina? Or perhaps a princess?” he asked.

      She laughed. It was a pleasant sound that wrapped around his heart and momentarily held him captive. “Not at all. I have two left feet and I always wanted to raise horses so I dreamed of wearing chaps and a vest rather than a princess’s tiara.”

      He had a sudden vision of her naked except for her long legs encased in a pair of leather chaps and her full breasts spilling out of a tiny vest. Hot blood welled in the pit of his stomach, spreading warmth directly to his groin.

      He shifted uncomfortably against the wooden chair and reminded himself that he was here with her because he wanted to use her knowledge of the locals to further his investigation, not because he wanted to take her to bed and teach her everything he knew about sexual pleasure.

      “You know horses?” he asked.

      “I started riding at the resort stables when I was little and worked the stables until I got the job in housekeeping,” she explained.

      “You have enough land to raise horses. Why haven’t you already done it?”

      “It took me until six months ago to pay off the last of the medical bills that my mother had accrued. I’m hoping to realize my horse dream in about five years. It’s almost midnight,” she said with a glance at the clock on the wall. “I should get you back to the resort. I have to be back at work around six-thirty in the morning.”

      He leaned back in the chair and smiled. “I’ve already made up my mind. I’ll stay here with you for the night.”
