Snake

My mind is blown! All I needed was some damn help in the bar. Not more trouble in the form of a leggy sex kitten that made me lose my damn mind. If only Cat wasn’t still so fragile. One minute I was wishing I had some help and the next this hot as hell redhead is dancing on my bar with me. 

Of course, I hired her. That sinfully delicious body, and those innocent eyes. Talk about standing at attention, every nerve in my body was aware of her. It may have been a bit over the top, what happened in my office while supposedly doing her new hire paperwork. But I couldn’t resist the pull. She possessed me as much as I possessed that tight body of hers. I need more of that, at least a little more, enough to get her out of my system. I will never let a woman get to me, get inside my head, ever again. Besides, I’m a Road Warrior, I have all the women I want, I will never again let feelings for a woman dictate my actions. Not going there, no matter how hot she is or how my body aches for her.

Rory

I got the job! Let’s hope I keep it. Sleeping with the boss is never a good idea. But he is so hot, and talk about put together. He has the most magnificent body, it just makes me ache to run my hands all over him.

I can’t believe it, a new job, and a hot man. Next I’ll get an apartment, and see where this new relationship takes me. I hope back into his arms, I just need to touch him, kiss him, taste him. Yes, it’s time to move on, let the past go, live in the now.

Too bad my past doesn’t agree, and in fact is about to intrude on my idyllic fantasy. See, my past, my rapists, are Road Warriors too.

His brothers and his club? Or the woman who is fast becoming the very reason his heart beats? As their pasts collide with their futures, will Rory and Snake be able to overcome and be together or will the pull of the past finally win out?

A Daughter's Duty by Samantha Grosser

Title: A Daughter's Duty

Author: Samantha Grosser

Genre: Historical Romance

Release Date: July 28, 2020

A woman who has vowed to do her duty. A man with demons in his past. A love that neither can deny.

When Susannah Archer meets the man her father has chosen for her to marry, she is bitterly disappointed, knowing at once she will never find happiness with him. But Susannah vowed long ago to accept her beloved father’s choice of husband, and she is not about to renege on that promise.

Sir Daniel Gifford has recently returned from the war against the Spanish in the Netherlands. He is tired of living, still grieving the death of his wife ten years before. So when a chance meeting with Susannah stirs a new desire for life in him, he is taken by surprise. He had thought he would never love again.

As Daniel sets out to coax her away from her impending marriage, Susannah’s vow is sorely tested. Caught between desire and obligation, she is trapped. How can she reconcile her duty to her father with the wishes of her heart? And dare she trust Sir Daniel’s intentions towards her? As the two men press their suit for her hand, Susannah must choose between them: will she be a dutiful daughter or marry the man that she loves?

“Susannah?” he whispered. “Is that you?”

“Yes, it is me,” she whispered back, instinctively clutching at the neck of the shift that hung loosely off one shoulder, holding it close about her. She had never appeared so exposed before a man, not even her father.

“I saw a light moving under the door as I passed,” he explained. “I wanted to be sure there was nothing wrong.”

“There’s nothing wrong. I just couldn’t sleep. Too much sleep this afternoon no doubt.”

He nodded and placed the candle on a side table that stood by the fireplace. “Come by the fire,” he said to her. “The night is cool.”

She stepped forward to stand by the hearth, holding out her hands to it for a moment. She had not been cold, but the flames were bright and attractive, and it was pleasant to stand before them. She was aware of Sir Daniel’s nearness and the hunger in his eyes, but keeping her eyes on the fire, she tried not to think of the sheerness of the linen shift and her nakedness beneath it. She swallowed, and her skin burned with a heat that had not come from the heat of the fire. Every sense within her was alive, raw and sensitive, as though his hands were on her flesh already. A tension crackled through the space between them like the promise in the air before a thunderstorm.

So this is how a woman falls, she thought. In pleasure and desire.

“I must marry Edward Hafton,” she whispered, as if such words might shield her from their need for each other.

He moved forward from the darkness of the room into the firelight and her eyes never left his face, straining to read him, to understand the thoughts that lay behind his eyes. He was still watching her, but she could make no sense of what she saw, the tension in his jaw, a hardness in his gaze.

“You’re not contracted to him yet,” he said.

“Nonetheless, I must marry him,” she replied. Her conscience still strove towards her duty, even when she was shaking with her passion. Need and longing surged through her body with every breath she took. If he took her in his arms now, she would respond in kind without question – he could undo her in a moment and ruin them both.

Samantha Grosser is a very British author of historical fiction who doesn’t function without tea. Having spent many years teaching English in Asia and Australia, she has made her home on the sunny beaches of Sydney Australia, where she now lives with her husband, teenaged son, and a very small dog called Livvy. She is the author of wartime dramas Another Time and Place and The Officer’s Affair, as well as the historical fantasy series Pages of Darkness. A Daughter’s Duty is her first historical romance. 

When she isn’t writing or reading, (which isn’t often) you can find her either doing yoga, going for long walks, or watching old movies.
