SYNOPSIS:
Miss Alexandra Farris lost her heart to her older brother’s friend, Lord Maxon Collins, long, long ago. Despite her girlhood attempts to win him, he never noticed her. Now that her first season is underway, she understands why. He prefers willowy blondes, not curvaceous maidens with darker coloring like herself. Rather than wallow in self-pity, she forgets love and focuses on something more attainable—an advantageous match.
Lord Collins is plagued by an uncomfortable feeling whenever he goes near Miss Farris. One of annoyance. And yet, he can’t seem to stop thinking of her, touching her, kissing her…He must act in her brother’s stead, which means he has to approve her suitor and ensure her safety. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to find a worthy gentleman.
Wedding her off should be a simple task, but not if he can’t let her go.
EXCERPT#2
She
inhaled and stepped up to him. He was so tall, at least five inches taller than
her, yet she would not allow him to intimidate her, not this gentleman she used
to pester as a little girl. She peered up at him and planted her fists on her
hips. “You cannot possibly imagine I would listen to you, can you?”
His
eyes narrowed, and he straightened from his position against the wall which
brought him that much closer to her. “I don’t only imagine. I know you will
listen to me. You have no other options.”
“Of
course I do.”
“No,
you do not.”
Their
gazes locked, and everything around Alexa faded away, except for the brilliant
blue eyes which held her riveted in place. She brought her palm to her chest to
make sure her heart still beat.
It
did, just barely.
She
finally broke away and whispered, “I have not given him a response yet.”
His
responding smile lacked warmth, and he appeared to gloat as he said,
“Excellent. I never have liked Lord Edwin and cannot fathom why you do.”
“I
happen to be very much in love with him.” She colored. She had just told Lord
Collins she loved Lord Edwin. Where was her fan when she needed it most? Next
to Miss Cannis where she had forgotten it. And now, she had to endure a most
frustrating conversation where she admitted a falsehood. Not a simple
falsehood, either. One which competed with the largest untruths of her life.
Her
rushed denial teetered on her lips as a stronger gust of wind tore through her
hair, causing several more strands to dislodge. She muttered a curse and
reached up to repair the damage the wind had made.
His
large, warm hand shot out and stopped her. The humid night air could not
compare to the warmth of his hand on hers, nor could it compete with the
spasmodic tingles breaking out throughout her body.
The
contact was too unexpected.
Too
intimate.
Too
much.
She
darted a hesitant glance his way where he quickly masked a warm look and took a
step away from her. “Leave your hair.”
She
swayed from the loss of his touch and the lack of warmth in his tone.
“Are
you quite all right?” he asked with a sneer, as if to erase all touches of
warmth with harshness. It hadn’t worked, though. She knew better.
Whatever
strange demon had overtaken him tonight was not normal and was, quite frankly,
vexing to deal with. “I see you can choose to employ good manners when you
wish.”
His
countenance darkened and he lifted a brow. “You evidently are just fine.”
