“Who? Your mother?”
Folding her arms across her chest, she glanced away. “No. The old woman
that haunts my dreams. She took care of me when I was a child…before Edouard
found me. She was right…look at me!”
Eric pulled her close and forked his fingers through her hair from the
roots to the ends. Trailing a light finger down her neck, he husked, “She’s
daft, Contesse. You certainly feel real to me…pure and innocent, like an
angel…”
Contesse inhaled sharply as desire surged through her veins. Waves of
desire invaded her body with his mere touch. A flush of warmth crept up her
cheeks, her womanly folds moistening in response to his husky voice. What’s he
doing to me?
Entwining his fingers with hers,
he searched her face. “Have you ever been kissed?”
She lowered her eyes, unable to face him lest she burst into tears.
“Oui. Once. But he didn’t want me either.”
With a sympathetic shake of his head, he tipped her chin up and stared
at her. “Then he’s a fool. God, but you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever
seen...”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
History
buff, Francophile, and hopeless romantic that demands an HEA—it’s the perfect
mixture for writing romance! With fond childhood memories of reading on quiet
afternoons, I loved the "happily ever after" sweet teen romances, but
I quickly plunged into the world of historical romance—my
get-away-from-real-life transporter. Add in a degree in Political Studies with
six years of French, and twenty years later, I’m living my dream. With three
published novels, 7 finished, and several more in my head, I have years of work
ahead of me!
