Excerpt
Two:
"This excerpt is from an unedited ARC and there may be
small changes in the final book."
“So you wish to be my lover, Mr. Ravenhill?” Two guileless
pools of blue gazed back.
Damen gulped, shocked she’d put into words a thought he’d
kept at bay since their first meeting. “No! That’s not what I… I mean, it’s not
entirely… More to the point…”
He glanced around. A carriage quickly approached from the
rear. Had they heard? The woman did not embrace subtlety or coy airs. He’d
never considered himself easily surprised, but sometimes she said the most
astounding things. Was she purposely trying to fluster him?
“Let me square away the team.” He rapped the reins, sending
the horses into a trot down a side trail, hoping the distraction would give him
time to collect his scattered thoughts.
She’d misconstrued his intensions; well, maybe not entirely,
but he would now have to be very careful how he phrased his next question – one
for which he desperately needed her agreement in order to find his brother’s
assailants. He cut a quick glance toward her, while trying to determine her
state of mind.
Was her little upturned nose twitching mischievously or was
she deep in contemplation? He couldn’t tell. Tiny freckles scattered across her
pronounced cheekbones. From the sides of her bonnet, unruly flaxen curls
bounced in the breeze.
Her eyes sparkled as they traveled over his arms, across his
shoulders and up his neck. With determination, he resisted falling into them.
