He turned with her and the afternoon sun illuminated his face: high, wide cheekbones beneath eyes as bright and blue as the sky. His full lips were pressed together with displeasure."Carter Hall is mine," he said in his too calm, too quiet tone. "Those are my roses.""Yours?" Janet asked. "It's in the middle of Chaster's Wood and Chaster's Wood is mine. My father gave it to me." Or he would, when she asked him to."No one comes to Carter Hall without leave from me.""I'll come and go as I please." Janet lifted her chin stubbornly. "And I'll ask no leave of you."In the ruins of Carter Hall, headstrong Lady Janet Dunbar encounters a mysterious stranger.
