LOVING HER DUKE

"I will not be your mistress." She spoke, whispering, with her mouth a sigh away from his. He swallowed hard and nodded, agreeing with her even as he closed the distance between them, kissing her to madness, leaving nothing to sanity. Bethany Fitzgerald hated the very idea of marriage and stood against it with everything she was. Charles de Norcrosse had to marry the insufferable Lady Cossington, for it was the will of his late father and he must abide by it. But when fate moved in favour of the Duke of Carlisle and the daughter of an impoverished Land Baron, very little can be done to fight against it. (Loving Her Duke is the first book of the British Blood Trilogy. Second is Hating Her King.)

Beth was in dismay, uncertain how she had spoken the words she had only of recent admitted to herself.

Anna shrieked, laying her hand over her mouth to hush herself. She was graciously joyful. "My Lady, that is great news!"

Beth clasped her hands. "You mustn't tell anyone. Do you hear me, Anna? No one must learn of this." She must trust her more than she knew. Still, she should have kept her mouth in better inspection.

Anna became sober. "No one?"

"No one." Beth reiterated.

"Lord Carlisle too?"

Especially Lord Carlisle! She would not have him bothered by her emotions. She wished he would, but he need not reciprocate it. She would not receive untrue affections from him.

"Even if he must, Anna I…"

A knock interrupted them. Hesitantly, Anna strode to the door and opened it to let in Albert. He entered and bowed.

She acknowledged him. "Albert."
