Welcome to #MidWeekTease
Where I'm cracking open the bubbly, because Lord Highwayman the next stories in my Cursed Treasure series was released yesterday...
and YEE HAA it's an editor's pick.
Because I love the Jay Aheer created covers of this series so much, I've used the banner of all five of them today, even though my #MidWeekTease is from Lord Highwayman...
~blurb~
~When Lady
Marielle Birch is kidnapped by a highwayman, neither she not he knew what the
outcome would be.
Thrown together
when Marielle shoots him, her aristocratic captor, Sylvester, The Earl Of St
Stephens, knows he's in deep trouble. After all, how could he not fall in love
with her and want her for his wife?
Never
mind that if they didn't wed it would be the scandal of the century.~
and your #MidWeekTease
“Your
wish—in this case—my dear, is my command. But before you do, let me swiftly
disabuse you of your ingeniously idiotic idea,” Vester said through gritted
teeth. “Lord above, woman, you make my head ache almost as much as this arm. Grief,
you’ve lived within the ton long enough to know how it works. We’ll be wed, do
not think otherwise.”
He
smiled and it reminded her of a snake about to strike. Very slowly he moved
across the room with unhurried elegance to stand in front of the door, towing
her with him. Then he turned until they faced each other a scant foot apart. So
close, Marielle thought, that if she took a deep breath her bosom would touch
his chest.
“You do, you know,” he said quietly.
“I do
what?” She was no meek and mild simpering debutante to docilely agree with
whatever he decreed. Let him declare it once more and let her again refuse.
Then perhaps he would understand she was sincere in her statement. She didn’t
want to marry him.
Well, she temporized, not like this. The idea of being the one
to tame Vester, really tame him, was
somewhat attractive.
He
stayed silent and took her chin in one hand. Damn,
that sends tingles through me such as Tessa described. Tessa, her elder sister,
had once said when a certain man touched her, the tingles went from her breasts
to her most intimate parts and back again. Was this what she meant? That urge
to say yes please, more and give in
to whatever the man decreed? But then Tessa had also said a man needed to work
for his dinner. Now Marielle had a rough idea of what her sister meant.
“Think
about it,” Vester advised her with a steely quality to his words. “I do not
need to spell it out.”
