A SCOT IS NOT ENOUGH by Gina Conkle
“Look,” she said softly, her elegant fingers touching the glass. “The
fireworks are still burning, which means you have the final question.”
Smoke clung to the sky above Vauxhall. Within the fading cloud, embers
sparked, little stars flickering their last. Her offer was an act of kindness
so their meeting wouldn’t end on rocky notes. Her gaze sought his. She was a
true artisan in the craft of humanity. Her flirtations, her laugh, her smiles
were all part of a woman of incredible depth.
“You tempt me in the best and worst of ways, Miss MacDonald.”
Of all the women to crave, he’d chosen her—a seductive Jacobite with a
worthy heart.
“The fireworks,” she whispered. “Their light is fading.”
He consumed the shadow between her small breasts. Asking to see them
wouldn’t do, not with the considerable respect his soul was building for this
woman. But he wanted—needed—something to sate his carnal nature.
His gaze ascended to her silken collarbone and the pale skin covering it.
“Your shoulder,” he demanded gruffly. “I want to see it.”
Knowing glittered in hazel eyes.
“Ask for it.”
Jagged air left his lungs. Power was hers and he ceded all of it.
“Would you . . . please . . . uncover your
shoulder?”
The corners of her mouth curled up.
“Uncover it yourself.”
What a seductive taunt. She could drive a man to his knees.
His laugh was rough and primitive. “You multiply my pleasure.”
Casual onlookers on the other side of King Street might see a man and a
woman framed by a window. Sharper eyes would say seduction was afoot, but the
keen observer would see the truth—a man surrendering to a woman.
He touched the tiny well at the bottom of her neck. So light, so bare,
two reverent fingers, exploring.
Miss MacDonald inhaled fast.
The wispy sound struck sparks inside him. At least he wasn’t alone in his
arousal.
Moonlight splashed her breastbone, a fascinating stretch between neck and
bodice. Potent. Enamoring. He dragged his fingers down her chest, and she
kindly let him have his misdirection.
He was sinking deeper and deeper, consumed.
Gina's
fate was sealed when her mom read aloud the poem, The
Highwayman—the perfect historical romance hook. But, Gina grew
up in California where no dukes or Vikings live. She always did
prefer stone castles over sand castles and books over beaches.
Years
ago, she fell in love with her favorite hero, Brian, and they eloped
to Vegas at midnight. Together, they raised two sons who like history
almost as much as their mom.
Nowadays, Gina pens sparkling
Georgian romance with a dash of Scots or Viking romance with heat and
adventure. When she's not writing, you can find her wandering a
museum or with her nose in a book.
