Two Spies. One Narrow Escape.

Michael went to his rescuer, whose face had turned deathly white in pain. “Sep, I’m going to help you up.” Septimus Ackett, son of Viscount Ammler, managed a weak nod and a shallow inhale of air. Michael slung his arm over his shoulder and gingerly raised him up, guiding them to a pew so they could both collapse in pain. Every single part of his body, including his pinkie toe, throbbed with agony. “You couldn’t have arrived a few minutes sooner?” “Ungrateful wretch,” Sep wheezed. —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer Read the first few chapters free online.

Phoebe smiled smugly at Mr. Coulton-Jones, as if to say, I have done my part. What will you do now, I wonder?

A Friendly Competition

“I was hoping, Miss Sauber, that you would be willing to engage in a friendly competition today? I feel I did not shoot my best at our last tournament.” She was exceedingly prepared to wipe that condescending smile off of his face. “I assure you, Mr. Vernon, the outcome will remain the same.” —from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer Read the full chapter of the archery tournament free online.
