Excerpt:
Elizabeth continued to
search, opening doors to empty rooms or storage areas, until she came to a door
and, upon opening it, was surprised to see a man sat on a chaise longue reading
a book.
“I’m terribly sorry. I
thought this was the door leading outside,” she said blushing, trying to close
the door behind her.
He instantly stood up, a look
of shock plastered on his face. His wide eyes just stared at her while he
remained silent. Then he broke eye contact and cleared his throat.
“It’s quite all right.” He
approached her with a bright smile. The sparkle in his sharp eyes looked
familiar and she lost her breath for a moment. “You must either be Lady
Elizabeth or her sister, Ann.”
He took her hand and bowed,
bringing her hand to his warm lips. Never breaking his fixed gaze on her, he
continued, “But from my brother’s description, you must be the beautiful Lady
Elizabeth, no doubt.”
Her cheeks warmed at his
compliment and she couldn’t help but stare back at him in a trance. His
beautiful azure eyes bewitched her, as did his full lips and strong chin. When
she finally acknowledged in her mind she had been gawking, she immediately
lowered her gaze to the floor in embarrassment. Words to reply came languidly
as time seemed to stop. After taking a shallow breath, she said, “I didn’t
realize the Duke of Norfolk had a brother.”
He chuckled. “Younger brother
who gives him more headaches than he’d care to have, I’m afraid. Perhaps that
is the reason he never mentioned me. My name is George.”
“Oh, well, your brother and I
haven’t really spoken often, or for long. We’ve barely conversed.”
His brow lifted in apparent
surprise. “Really? And yet here you are, Norfolk Castle your new permanent
residence.”
“That, my lord, is your
brother’s doing, not mine. I had no say in this arrangement he and my father
made.” Her anger rose.
“Ah, yes, the supposed bet.
Yes, yes, I had forgotten about that.” He walked around her tapping his index
finger on his pursed lips while he looked her over like a prize.
It was obvious the Duke’s
brother had his same rude manners and disrespect for women. Yet surprisingly a
part of her found George’s admiring attention flattering. Before she could open
her mouth to put him in his place, he remarked, “What if there were no bet, my
lady?”
“Pardon me?” She frowned, not
understanding his question completely.
“What if there really were no
bet? Would you have come to live here just the same?” he asked as he came to
stand before her a mere few inches away. She could swear she heard his heart
beating for how close he stood. His virility seemed to intoxicate her that
instant.
“If there were no bet? Well,
of course I wouldn’t.”
“Ever?”
“Ever!” she reiterated with a
firm tone.
“Even if your life were in
danger?” George said, inching his face closer to hers while his gorgeous eyes
fixed on her lips.
Her lips throbbed under his
hungry stare and her voice cracked. “No, not even then.”
He broke his gaze then and
frowned. “I see.” He turned and walked to the window, staring outside with a
blank, far-off expression for a moment.
Feeling awkward, and
disappointed he had diverted his attention elsewhere, she made her way to the
door. “I’m sorry for interrupting you. I’ll be on my way now.”
He turned to look at her.
“Where was it you were headed, my lady?”
“I was trying to find the
door that led to the garden outside. I saw it from my bedroom upstairs and
wanted to take a leisurely walk in it.”
“It’s a beautiful day outside
and the perfect time for a walk in the gardens.” He walked up to her and
extended his arm for her to take. His brow lifted and a smile spread over his
lips. “If my lady would allow me the honor of showing her our prized gardens,
I’d love to show them to you.”
Blushing once more, she
replied, “I don’t want to be a bother, my lord. You were reading when I
interrupted you.”
“Yes, and the book was
dreadfully boring. I’d much prefer the company of a beautiful lady.”
Her brow lifted in warning at
his wording and he laughed at his gaffe. “I mean I’d much rather accompany a
beautiful lady to see our gardens than read a boring book.”
She looped her arm through
his. A tiny shock, when her hand made contact with his, traveled through her
arm and targeted her chest. Her breath caught in her throat and her legs became
weak for a second.
He pulled her in closer,
wrapping his arm around her waist, and began to guide her through the door into
the corridor.
Being so close to him as they
walked made her palms sweaty and her mouth dry. She wished the lump in her
throat would dislodge so she could begin to breathe again. Her bodice tightened
on her breasts as she tried to expand her chest to take in air. Then an
uncontrollable, arousing urge she had never before experienced overcame her.
In fear of the unbounded
excitement surging in her body, she desperately wanted to break free from him
and run in urgency.
Book Review:
Elizabeth
is a beautiful woman who has been won in a game by Richard. She is furious but has no choice. However she finds that Richard and George,
Richard’s brother, are both the men of her dreams. This book is explicit and involves a
threesome. Please keep that in mind when
choosing to read these books.
This book has a fun storyline, but the plot could be more fleshed
out. However the story serves the
purpose. It would have been good to have
a couple of the plot lines to have more details. I would give this story 4 out of 5 clouds and
a chili pepper rating of 7, definitely not for children.
