Chapter Twelve

Rhys spent one night at his godfather’s country estate after he left London. As he set out for home the following morning, his brother’s bay again seemed almost as eager as he. Their solitary ride along sunken lanes that ran under the cathedral-like branches of the beech trees, their beauty shrouded in the morning mist, epitomized everything he’d missed about England during his long absence on the Continent.

Unfortunately for his peace of mind, it also reminded him of the days he’d spent in the Gypsy encampment. The closer he came to the area where he’d first encountered Angel, the more difficult it became to deny his feelings for her mother. Or the troubling thoughts that had haunted him after the raid.

Nadya had refused to answer his questions about her ‘daughter,’ but he knew that the fair-haired child did not share her blood. Could the mystery surrounding the little girl’s origin be at the root of the hatred he’d seen at work the night of the raid? If so, then they both were still at risk.

It was only as he skirted one of the villages scattered on the downs that he realized he might be able to track down and then question at least one of the participants of that attack. There couldn’t be that many Olivers living in these hamlets near the original encampment.

Most of the villages would be small, consisting of fewer than two dozen families. In each, he had no doubt he could find a gossip willing to point out any man of that name.

Once Rhys had seen that man with his own eyes, he would know whether or not he was the one who’d been pummelling Andrash that night. And if so, he thought with a sense of purpose that replaced the one his London sojourn had destroyed, he had some pummelling of his own to do.
