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.)

Let Me Protect You, Bethany

It was almost a command but Beth didn't dare disobey. She rushed to the chair adjacent to his. "You are here."

"You promised to spend the day in my company. The day is not over."

Beth was overwhelmed with shame. She had acted without culture, acted like a terrible drunk who would overindulge at the sight of good wine. "I am terribly sorry. I do not know what came over me." She dropped her head, biting her lips. "I behave so badly."

It was a good thing she could not see his face. It must be filled with scorn if not downright disappointment.

A switch and a small light came on. A small flickering fire. "I thought your behaviour was endearing." Beth raised her head. "It was adorable." He put out the light.

Was he drunk too? "You_ you think my behaviour ad_adorable?" Every word was laced with unbelief.

"Is it so unbelievable?"

It was! "I would think you would detest it."
