BLURB:
The Battle of Waterloo made them widows, but
each has found new happiness. And Jane, Lady John Tarkington, intends to keep
her freedom, even if love—and one particular gentleman—are determined to claim
her heart . . .
It is a truth rarely acknowledged—at least in
public—that a wealthy widow is free to pursue a great many adventures. For two
years, Jane has privately enjoyed her independence. Why should she remarry,
even when the gentleman proposing is as wonderful as Gareth, Lord Kinellan? She
entreats him never to ask her again. But as her Widows’ Club friends—now all
joyfully remarried—gather at Castle Kinellan, Jane begins to wonder if
stubbornness has led her to make a terrible mistake . . .
Kinellan needs a wife to give him an heir, and
he wants that wife to be Jane. They are perfect together in every way, yet she
continually refuses him. Just as he is on the point of convincing her, a series
of accidents befall Gareth and point to an enemy in their midst. He has
promised Jane a passionate future filled with devotion, but can he keep them
both alive long enough to secure it?
EXCERPT:
Throwing up his hands, he groaned and sagged against the wall, his banyan sliding half off him. “Have your way with me, woman. I surrender myself into your hands. Do with me what you will and I swear I will enjoy it.”
Panting, she stepped back from him, seeing the sculpted muscular form, strong arms, and dark eyes glazed with smoldering desire as if for the first time. This man wanted her, or had wanted her to be his wife for a long time. No one would ever make her feel this way again, mo matter how many lovers she might take. She could look for the rest of her life and not find a man as kind or generous or loving as he. And she had all but thrown his love away with both hands. The revelation devastated her and she hung her head.
“Jane?” Kinellan straightened, peering into her face.
Sobbing, she threw her arms around him, laying her head on his broad chest, the only place she wanted it to be. Tears pricked her eyes. The fast beat of his heart beneath her ear should have given comfort, but did not, for her own heart was tearing asunder. The trickle of tears became a flood.
“Darling.” He slipped his arms around her, cradling her close. “What is wrong?”
“I…I don’t want to leave.”
“Sweetheart.” He cupped her chin and turned her face up to his. A thundery frown marred his brow. “Who has asked you to leave? Was it Aunt Prudence? Fiona?”
“N…no.” Jane sniffed, trying to blink back the tears and regain her composure.
“Someone else?” His frown grew darker.
She nodded. “You.”
