From Substitute to Queen (Sable & Darrell) Book PDF Free by Hannah Moore

From that moment, I refused to speak to him. My heart filled with resentment. When Caelan came to tutor me, I discovered my gift for medicine. I chose to become a doctor to heal others, so they wouldn’t lose loved ones like I had. I asked Dad about the enemies who hurt Mom in battle.…

“Sable, it’s me.” Darrell’s voice came through clearly. I almost hung up immediately. “How did you get this number?” ‘I got a new phone. Listen, I’m calling about something important.” His voice sounded unusually sincere. “The housekeeper found a necklace under the bed today. I think it’s yours.” My hand instinctively went to my throat.…

Pain exploded through my chest. I dropped to my knees, gathering the pieces with trembling fingers. “You vicious bitch!” Tears burned my eyes. “You did that on purpose!” Camila pressed her hand to her chest in mock horror. “I’m so sorry! I really didn’t mean for that to happen! Though I have to say, the…

How easy it was to talk to him. “Elena must be pretty famous. Getting an appointment with…

His laugh was rich and warm. “This ancient artifact is considering locking his troublesome fianc?e in a tower. Seems like the medieval approach might be necessary.” Despite everything, I found myself grinning. “You’d have to catch me first, old man.” “Old man?

‘Just pack business.” But Camila’s eyes had narrowed slightly. She’d always been perceptive, able to read people’s emotional states. After dropping her off at her hotel, I’d tried mind-linking Sable. No response. Her phone went straight to voicemail. She must be working overtime at the hospital. 212 So here I was. Sable’s POV Darrell leaned…

“Then why leave? Your residency is ending in a few days-you’re about to become a fully licensed doctor. Are you sure you want to leave now?” ‘I appreciate that more than I can say.” I folded my hands in my lap. “But I need to go home. To where I really belong.” ‘Is this about…
