Chapter Six

It was definitely a culture shock. Zeva looked around as they drove from the manor house into town. Blyth, Northumberland was near the coast, and from her research there was the River Blyth and some moors around the area that led to rocky bluffs that overlooked the sea. It used to be a town built on coal mining and sea trade, specifically salt, and used to be the main trading area for pulp to make newspapers from Scandinavia. The town was re-developed over the years to bring in more industry after the eighteen hundreds to increase the population and to increase investment into the town.

As she looked around, it was like being transported back to early England with quaint two story shops and restaurants. Jasper had explained that many people lived in the apartments over their businesses. But scattered in there were one or two small apartment buildings as well.

He is more than talented, she thought as she traced some of the intricate designs. After another round of mind blowing sex in the very large bed she would now share with him, they showered together and took one of the cars into town. The whole marriage thing seemed to be meant for them because they had the newlywed thing down to a science.

“So you know you downplayed the manor and your work,” Zeva commented mildly as they drove slowly through the countryside.

He glanced at her quickly before looked back at the road. “How so?”

She poked him in the shoulder. “You live in a mansion, Duke Jasper McTavish, and your workshop is huge and you are completely an artist with amazing talent.” He grinned. “If you keep that up I may start blushing.”
