Synopsis:
Lord Marcus Bowles has stained his family's
reputation for the last time. Only after spending a scandal-free year restoring
some far-flung property can this second son return in good graces. But Marcus
isn't one to abandon a lone damsel on a dark country lane.
One stolen kiss and Genevieve Turner's handsome
midnight savior disappears. Typical. No matter, Gen is finally on the way to
her new post, and hopefully to finding her grandmother as well. Instead she
finds her mischievous hero is her new employer. Surely a few more kisses won't
hurt...
Excerpt:
He
grabbed the papers, getting an eyeful of his housekeeper. Fresh arousal
stiffened his cock. Tiny moisture beads clung to her breasts, shining like
diamonds on ample cleavage. Her shift’s white tie dangled over her bodice,
begging to be pulled.
If
he wasn’t careful, he’d press his mouth to hers and cry defeat.
His
hips shifted, sloshing water in the tub. “The thing is what we have is like a
game of Fox and Geese. Are you familiar with the board game?”
A
sweet laugh erupted. “Fox and Geese? Yes, I’ve seen it. Pray tell, what do you
mean?”
“Well,
I’m the fox, outnumbered and outflanked by you.”
“Because
of this morning.”
His
gaze dipped to her pretty bosom. He was the worst kind of wastrel; everyone
expected it of him.
Why not give in?
Sweat
trickled down his temple, owing nothing to the hot bath. Miss Turner had to
know he’d be putty in her hands if she crooked her finger at him.
“I’m
not skilled with household matters.” He forced himself to look higher.
Dark
lashes fringed her patient, knowing eyes.
He
grinned aware he was caught ogling her. “You got the best of me, going on
attack at the crack of dawn, no less. Very unsporting of you.”
“It
was well past dawn,” she corrected. “But do go on. This is quite interesting.”
Her
chin rested in her hand. She was close enough he could count the freckles on
her nose. Miss Turner was pretty but not in the conventional sense. Her jaw was
too square, her eyes too dark, and her stature tall for most men, but her body
housed a soul older than her years and he wanted to lose himself in her.
Fighting
for clarity, he tapped the folded papers. “I have here something to even things
out. A negotiation piece.”
“In
our game of Fox and Geese.” Her voice dipped with humor. “And here I thought we
were all about cleaning up your unsightly cottage.”
“A
minor detail. Life is about the dance between men and women.”
“A
vicar’s wisdom, I’m sure.”
Firelight
illuminated Miss Turner’s hair, the effect like honeyed threads. Desire shocked
his system again, the jolt reaching between his legs. A medieval device could
be slowly crushing him for all the sweet torture. He was ten times a fool for
conversing with her while in his bath.
His
vision glazed over all because messy hair and freckles entranced him. The
current circumstances defined purgatory—him naked with a desirable woman he
could never, should never touch.
“About
that negotiation piece.” She nodded at the broadsheet.
He
blinked, willing the intense wave between his legs to subside.
“I
have a prime item, but it will come at a price.”
Miss
Turner stilled and her eyes narrowed. “Go on.”
“I’ve
something inside for you, but I think it’s worth having my chamber pot cleaned
all winter.”
“What?”
She balked. “You want…chamber pots
cleaned. Not a service of another kind?”
