Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)
Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Suzanne took a deep breath to steady herself before answering tentatively, her voice soft, "Hello?"
Austin's husky voice came through the phone. "What are you doing?"
Maybe it was the distance created by the phone line, but his voice seemed especially deep and magnetic. Suzanne always had a thing for charming voices and felt her heart skip a beat.
She gripped her fork tighter, trying to compose herself. "Having dinner," she replied, her tone neutral.
Immediately, she realized how curt that sounded, so she quickly added, "Have you eaten yet?"
Austin murmured, "Yeah."

She hadn't even finished when Austin interrupted her.
"I didn't expect my wife to be Jane Smith," he said flatly, his tone giving nothing away.
Suzanne froze, her surprise evident. She hadn't thought he would bring up her identity.
