The Dark Count ebook Jill Noelle

The Dark Count

Having spent most of her young life left to her own devices, Bridgett Mortimor has filled the lonely hours with fantasies. One day, she is certain, her knight in shining armor will come and carry her off to his castle, where she'll spend the rest of her days living the life of a fairytale princess. When her alcoholic father loses her to a tall, dark stranger in a game of cards, Bridgett falls quickly under the man's spell. Finally, she believes, her gallant knight has come to her rescue. Vincent Renault, dubbed The Dark Count by his peers, doesn't believe he has a chivalrous bone in his body. When fate throws him together with the fair Bridgett, he soon recognizes his chance to live out his own dark fantasy and Bridgett proves to Vincent that he really is her knight in shining armor, even if neither of them have ever lived a fairytale before.

"Oh, no ye don't. Yer no takin' all me money an' walkin' away. I can meet yer bet with somethin' more precious than gold."

Vincent Renault scraped his winnings into a pile on the scarred plank table, ignoring the drunken ramblings of the man across from him. More precious than gold, indeed. Of course the old man would say so, after losing every last guinea he'd brought to the game.

A filthy, callused hand fell on his arm. Vincent looked up, checking the impulse to fling it off.

Harold Morton leaned across the table, his alcohol-laden breath fouling the air. "More dear than all England's treasures is me Bridgett."

Vincent raised a brow and sat back in his chair, his silence an invitation for the man to continue.

"?Er hair's the color o' spun gold, ?n ?er eyes is the color o' a summer sky. She's a true beauty, is me Bridgett."

"And who, pray tell, is ?me Bridgett'?"

"A young chit whose beauty is beyon' compare."

"So you've said, but who is she that you feel free to wager her on a hand of cards?" Vincent watched the man closely, his stomach clenched in anger. In his mind, he pictured another young girl, another golden child, whose innocence had been stripped from her by a depraved adult. He blinked, clearing his thoughts.
