HOW
THE EARL ENTICES Excerpt
Copyright
© 2018 Anna Harrington
“You are not a
gentleman.” Her words were so soft that they were nearly lost
beneath the rain pounding against the roof. “You are despicable.”
She held her
breath and stood her ground, waiting for him to unleash his fury on
her. It was what Vincent would have done. Just like her
brother-in-law, would this stranger have enjoyed hurting her?
But instead of a
harsh warning—or making good on his threat to tie her up—he
forced a tight smile and turned back to mutter into the fire, “So
much more than you know.”
He was quickly
lost in his own thoughts, but Grace knew he was still aware of her
and every move she made. If she attempted to run, he would pounce
before she reached the door.
Entering her
bedroom, she hesitated in the doorway. Part of her contemplated
defying him and closing the door anyway. Would serve him right! But
something in her gut told her not to press him. So far he’d kept
true to his word and not attempted to hurt her, and the last thing
she should do was provoke his anger. The night was half over now; by
dawn the storm would be weakening, and then he’d be gone. She only
had to wait him out.
Even knowing
that, though, her fingers trembled as she shrugged out of the wet
coat, then reached for her dress and undergarments in her dresser.
The room was dark, and the shadows hid her from view, yet she took
repeated glances over her shoulder to make certain he still kept his
distance, still standing at the fireplace with his eyes focused on
the flames.
After she’d
changed into her dress and wrapped a shawl securely around her
shoulders, she blew out a deep, silent breath of relief. Both at
finally being properly dressed and that the stranger hadn’t moved
from where she’d left him.
Her hands fumbled
with putting up her damp hair as she emerged from the bedroom, with
two hairpins between her lips. Grudgingly, she mumbled around them,
“Thank you for not—”
He glanced up
from the fire as she stepped from the shadows, his face fully visible
in the firelight.
She halted in
mid-step, her breath catching in her throat at the intensity of his
stare as it trailed slowly over her. Not lasciviously, not
predaciously—she’d expected that. Instead, he gazed at her in an
assessing manner, a look filled with such deliberate aloofness that
she couldn’t help but see the arrogant reserve beneath, the cool
detachment…
At that moment, a
long-forgotten memory rushed over her like a tidal wave. She placed
him in her mind, as clearly as the moment she first saw him over ten
years earlier at that crowded ball in London, and she shuddered.
Ross Carlisle,
Viscount Mooreland, heir to the Earl of Spalding…
Dear God—so
much worse than a stranger!
