“He knows if he doesn’t collect you, you won’t come.” She grinned, thankful he couldn’t see it. Her father shamelessly abused Luke’s feelings for her on more than one occasion. He knew Luke would go today, not for his father-in-law’s sake, but for Tabbie’s.
Luke harrumphed. “If I am to spend the day engaged in your father’s business affairs, you have to entertain my parents. They can’t get enough of Henry.”
“Done,” she grinned. “I’ll send a missive for you by four so that my father doesn’t keep you all evening.”
“Swear it.” He kissed her long and hard. “I want to be home with my family for the evening meal and my wife tucked into bed with me by eight.”
“Eight?” she cried her eyes twinkling. “What happened to that rake who stayed out all hours of the evening?”
“Oh, he’s still here.” Luke gave her a wicked grin. “I might want you in bed but I didn’t say anything about sleeping.”
Her breath caught. He still did that to her after four years. “Promise,” she said as her lips found his.
“Tabbie,” it came out as a growl. “If you kiss me like that again, your father is going to be waiting for a very long time.”
“Promise,” she whispered again. Her rake was absolutely perfect.

Christmastide with the Captain
Christmastide with the Captain
A Laird to Love Prequel
By Tammy Andresen
Emilia stood on the beach, despite the biting wind and misty air that December inevitably brought. Her hands smarted from the cold but she embraced the sensation, adding it to the list of reasons why self-pity was the emotion most likely to propel her through Christmastide.
They were all going to marry. Each one of her cousins and sisters had fallen hopelessly in love over the last year and were either married or about to be. And poor, quiet, bookish Emilia was going to be left alone in this drafty Scottish castle. Who was ever going to love her?
The grey water churned bits of white foam mirroring her mood. Perhaps she should join a nunnery. Devote herself to God and charity.
