The corners of his mouth paled, tightened the muscles in his jaw. “An opinion?”

“Out of respect for me. And my sisters. And the children who will come of this marriage.”

He became a wall of flint, chilly and impassable. “You’ll marry who I say, madam. When I say. And without comment.”

She wanted to tell him that none of his blustering mattered anymore, because in a very short time he wasn’t going to have a castle to sell.

“I’ll say whatever I please, Alex. You’ve just lost the right to ask civility of me.”

“You’ll damn well do what I tell you, Talia. The king is coming, and I’ll not have you—”

“The king?” She drew back from him, breathless at this announcement. “What do you mean, he’s ‘coming’?” Kings brought war and rebellion.

“The earl of Chester is promising to restore the king’s lands in the north. Stephen doesn’t trust him, wants to see for himself.”

“So he’s coming here to Carrisford? Why?”

She didn’t trust Alex’s shrug. A visit from a king must mean the world to him, to his bloody plans.

“We’re on the way to where he’s going.”

A dark and desperate fact of war that chilled her to the bone. “He’ll bring his army, won’t he?”

She felt his gaze on her, testing her temper when it was already set hard against him. “He’s a king, Talia. And kings don’t travel lightly.”
