Colette’s Savage Stallion
By Deirdre O’Dare
Chapter 1
The Camargue, France
Late Spring, 1797
Colette D’Estaing hurried down the flagged path to the stable. She took deep breaths of the morning’s cool damp air, hoping it would clear the heat of anger from her soul.
Curse him! I am not yet Charles’s wife and he cannot force me to submit to his disgusting demands. If there is any justice in this warped world, I shall not have to marry the fiend! Somehow, perhaps I can convince Papa what a depraved libertine his dear Charles de Fayette really is!
By the time she reached the shady peace of the stable, her raging blood had calmed. A good ride would finish taking the edge off her emotions and make life tolerable again. Slipping into the tack room, she took off her heavy skirts and hung them on a convenient hook. Beneath them, she wore breeches and high leather boots, a most improper costume for a gently born young woman, but one in which she felt free and comfortable.
As soon as she emerged, one of the lads appeared, eager to serve her. Ma’mselle, which of your horses do you want to ride today? I will have it here for you before you can blink your eyes.
She smiled at the youth, one of the younger sons of Francois de Jean, the estate’s master of horse. Let me ride Cloud today,
she said. He’s not been out for a gallop in a ten-day, and I’m sure he’s ready to run.
The lad hesitated a moment, knowing the spirited horse was a handful for even an experienced and masterful rider.
Cloud it will be,
she repeated. You know I can handle him.
The lad nodded and hurried off. Very soon, he returned, leading the dappled gray gelding, one of the fine Camargue horses that filled the D’Estaing stable.
Where is Gaston today?
She tried to make the question casual, but her heart accelerated at the mere sound of the name. Gaston was the horse master’s eldest son, so devastatingly handsome and darkly dangerous in manner that all the servant girls could speak of little else.
The youth shrugged. I do not know, m’lady. I suspect he is off somewhere with his horses. Even Father cannot keep a rein on him!
If what she’d heard was true, Gaston was not one for
