Chapter 76
Blackstone, damn him, had been riding by just in time to save the colonial, ruining Morleigh’s plan and cementing an attachment between he and Leander. By taking Leander under his wing—and into his bed, of that Morleigh had no doubt—Blackstone made it impossible for the American Earl to simply disappear without questions arising. Morleigh’s second attempt—planned when his spy told him Leander was attending a house party at Shadowcross Manor—had been better thought out, but still not successful. It had only resulted in Leander taking a fall from his horse, not any permanent injuries.
