Author: Jackson D'Lynne is the pseudonym for a hardworking wife and mother of four, transplanted from California and now stuck in small town Pennsylvania. Always an avid reader, she's been devouring books since middle school. Nowadays, when she's not reading, she's writing sweet historical romance as Lynn Winchester, sexy historical romance as Rosamund Winchester, and sexy contemporary romance as Eve Black. Basically, she writes whatever her muse commands. The Diva and the Duke Haven Edwards is a 21st century diva with an "exotic" career. Wanting nothing more than to move past her ugly divorce, she attends an adults only Carnal-val where she's compelled to steal a strangely glowing pocket watch. Overcome with its power, she winds it and thrown back in time to 1817 where she crashes into the life of the very proper, very sexy, Logan Dunham. A duke with a deep distrust of beautiful women, Logan can't understand his staggering desire for the woman with the quick wit, and jade green eyes--the woman who haunted his dreams long before they met. Haven is determined to find a way home, but she can't shake her hunger for the dark, brooding duke. He's a duke, he's out of her league, right? So why does her heart beat a little faster whenever he is near? Why does her mind conjure images of happily ever after? One touch, and they are consumed by their desire. But before they can untangle their feelings for one another, a sociopath with a god complex and a knife fetish sets his evil intents on Haven. In order to save her life, Logan must destroy the demons of his past, and learn to trust a power he doesn't understand. What happens when he arrives too late? Will the time-swept diva be lost forever, or will the diva get her duke?

Chapter 47

A tall, solid shadow erupted from the trees to her right, and she gasped. He cut off her scream with his hand. Logan grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. Something inside her snapped. With a quick flick of her elbow, she was free and racing for the darkest part of the forest. Pleasure and anxiety thrilled through her, and she grew more panicked by the second. Snapping twigs, pounding, and thrashing echoed through the trees behind her. Thankful of her many hours spent at the gym, she knew he'd get one hell of a chase before he caught her.

She sped up, uncaring that her borrowed skirt and top snagged and tore on grasping branches. A burst of laughter bubbled from her lips.

Come and get me.

As the adrenaline pumped through her blood, she moved faster, her feet carrying her deeper into the woods. Though she didn't know where her path led, she knew when he caught her-and he would-there'd be hell to pay. When had Hell become so appealing?
