Daughter

- - -

When he found out his mistress was pregnant, he could have kicked himself for not being more careful.

Admittedly, Roald had always wanted another child. So had Lianne, but they'd given up on that dream years ago.

Now, faced with the dilemma of what to do, and not wanting to upset his wife, he decided to stow his mistress far in the north.

And though Roald knew he'd done the right thing, nothing could quite compare to the regret he felt when he heard the news that the new Lady of Dunlath had borne her Lord a daughter called Maura.
