Vinn tiptoed back to her room in Baldrig castle, looking the very picture of a woman who had committed a crime of passion. And maybe she did commit such a crime.
The crime of spending a decadent night out with Xander Lenklock. Even thinking about it then made her blush. And her wild imaginations might have wormed its way into her brain for even as she opened the door to her guest room, she did not notice the figure sitting on her bed until she crept closer.
It was so abrupt and out of the blue that she had no choice but to squeal, grabbing the weapon closest to her in a bid to thwart whoever it was.
She ended up picking her underwear instead—her corset slip in fact. And just as the dainty material smacked the invader did she realize it was none other than Kaelan.
