Excerpt:
“Goodnight,
Miss Carson.”
“Goodnight, Your Lordship.”
He held onto her hand for a beat too long, that
delicious roughness of his palm heating hers. Her stomach erupted in
butterflies. Utter romantic nonsense. It was a handshake. She glanced up at his
face and their eyes met. The butterflies vanished and her stomach dropped clean
to her feet. Her feet were rooted in place, but her body swayed slightly, as if
being tugged toward him by an invisible thread. A muscle in his cheek twitched.
Then, to her shock, he leaned in and kissed her cheek.
Her skin warmed beneath his lips and a delicious
tingle shot down the back of her neck. It was only a moment, a brush of his
lips against her cheek, but it heated her all the way down to the soles of her
feet. Well, there was her answer about his touch. That tiny kiss was
ricocheting through her body, laying waste to her good sense.
He drew back two scant inches, his eyes meeting
hers in the dull gold glow of the gaslight wall sconces behind her. She could
feel his breath on her mouth. There was only his beautiful, strong face and
those shockingly blue eyes and his lips, which had made her feel so much at the
slightest touch. She swayed toward him again. His eyelids lowered, his gaze
dropping to her mouth.
BLURB:
Victoria Carson never expected love. An American heiress and graduate of
Lady Grantham's finishing school, she's been groomed since birth to marry an English
title--the grander the better. So when the man chosen for her, the forbidding
Earl of Dunnley, seems to hate her on sight, she understands that it can't
matter. Love can have no place in this arrangement.
Andrew
Hargrave has little use for his title, and even less for his cold,
disinterested parents. Determined to make his own way, he's devoted to his life
in Italy, working as an archaeologist. Until the collapse of his family's
fortune drags him back to England, to a marriage he never wanted and a woman he
doesn't care to know.
Wild
attraction is an unwanted complication for them both, though it forms the most
fragile of bonds. Their marriage of convenience isn't so intolerable after
all--but it may not be enough when the deception that bound them is finally
revealed.
