Happy #MidWeekTease day folks...
I've had very little net lately so I'm busy playing catch up. Today's tease is going to be from The Duke's Seduction of Lady M...
I've had a sneak preview of the fabulous cover, but, it's not quite ready to be revealed yet...Soon I hope...
Rules are meant
to broken…
The mysterious
Lady Mary McCoy is tired of playing by the rules of the ton. As a wealthy widow
she fully plans on living her life to the full – free from the constraints of
marriage.
And if she has
to keep her high society status a secret in order to indulge in the more pleasurable pastimes
of life, then so be it! Just as long as it’s on her terms…
Until notorious
rake, Brody Weston, Duke of Welland, returns to his ancestral home – intent on
her seduction! Slowly, luxuriously, he begins to unravel her secrets, one
tantalising kiss at a time. And suddenly Lady Mary realises that breaking her own rules
with the Duke is the most dangerous thing she’s ever done!
And your tease...
(Brody is on his way home from the continent after serving the crown there...)
The
door of the school opened with a squeak that shattered the quiet afternoon, and
a young, dark-haired lady dressed in a deep blue gown emerged. He certainly
didn’t know her but one swift look told him he’d like to. In every way
possible. As she bent to pick up a large wicker basket from inside the school
foyer and then shut the door behind her, her trim figure drew his attention
like a lodestone. Brody slowed his horse and stared at her again, willing her
to look up. Her gown clung to her contours and showed him a posterior perfectly
rounded, and, when she straightened, pert breasts which from that distance
looked to be exactly the right size to fill his hands.
For
the first time in many a long month a certain part of his anatomy perked up.
Down boy, on a horse is not the place
to make your presence felt. However he couldn’t take his eyes of
the woman, and was hard pressed not to catcall after her.
Sadly—or
perhaps luckily, judging by the state his body was now in—she didn’t so much as
glance his way, but walked across the lane and turned into an alley beside the
bakery.
Ignored
again by god. Brody on the other hand couldn’t take his eyes off her
shapely body. She moved so confidently. Each stride showed a brief glimpse of a
well-turned ankle and a sway of that shapely rear. He was a connoisseur of
perfect ankles and bottoms. And legs, torsos and breasts. From his vantage
point all still looked more than up to scratch.
He hesitated and wondered how best to make an
introduction.
Too late. The lady carried her
basket in one hand, lifted the latch and turned into the side entrance of the
bakery. The door swung shut behind her and she disappeared from view. In front
of an interested baker and goodness knows how many customers was not the time
or the place to show interest in a stranger, especially as he would have to
tell one and all who he was.
Damn. I’ve lost my touch. Pray
to god he found it again and soon.
