Hump Day Hook #HDH – The Darkness of Love


Hello and welcome to another Hump Day Hook. We continue with one more snippet from The Darkness of Love, and here is a little insight into the adventure that awaits our hapless stable boy Marcus Scott, and the young Lady of the Manor, Sarah Stockton…


Gregory watched Sarah and Penelope trot towards the lake, the sunlight helping Sarah’s lustrous hair glow golden, and Penelope’s flanks were silvered, making a nice contrast to her mistress sat resplendent and proud in her pretty blue dress.  Gregory felt his body tighten with anticipation.  It had been a week since he had shared a bed with his wife, and now he needed her desperately.  He had been extremely busy with work, and now was concerned that he may need to spend some time at his offices in London, to put his affairs in order.  What might happen at Stockton Manor in his absence?  Would young Marcus take his chances with the Lady Sarah, or would he continue to resist, even though it was clearly becoming increasingly difficult for him?

    1. Thanks Flossie! Yes, Gregory is one of those powerful old aristocratic vampires that I just cannot resist... but will he bring Marcus into the family?

  7. Haha, sorry. This made me laugh because he said it had been one week since he'd shared his bed with his wife. For a guy, that's like the end of the world! Seems he better rearrange his schedule to fit some time in for her ;)
