Jane Lark - The Scandalous Love of a Duke

I want Katherine.

John was breathless with exhilaration when he reached the tower, having ridden hard to get there.

He would climb up to the square room at the very top and look down onto the world like God, imagining what he would do if he could rule and order it as he wished: he’d turn back time and know his mother from his birth, he’d long to change fate and stop his father dying.
