As Lady Sophia passes
through the gates of her new bridegroom’s country estate and he
begins to whisper in her ear the delights that await her in his bed,
Lady Sophia realizes she has made a most dreadful mistake. There’s
only one thing to do. She must bolt.
The bride-on-the-run is
rescued by the exceedingly handsome William Birmingham who thinks
she’s a woman named Isadore, and though he’s the richest man in
England, she mistakes him for a common (but well-to-do) criminal.
Since she’d rather be dead than wed to her wretched bridegroom,
Sophia pretends to be Isadore and take her chances with the
provocative Mr. Birmingham. But how could she have known that her
ruse would bring the gallant Mr. Birmingham into such peril from the
wicked man she married? And how could she have known her enigmatic
rescuer would ignite passions she never knew she possessed? EXCERPT:
“Just what are you suggesting, sir?”
“You -- and your sister -- will stay at my home
until I’m assured that you’re out of danger.”
She shook her head. “I’m . . . an unmarried
woman.”
The very suggestion of impropriety stirred his
lust for her. She was an unmarried woman, a very beautiful unmarried
woman, and he was an unmarried man. He had never been more aware of
a woman. A sizzling heat flared between them as he drank in her
sensuous loveliness, as his heated gaze poured over her exquisite
face, down the creamy flesh of her neck and the tops of her breasts
swelling against the blue gown.
Bringing a wellborn lady to his house was not a
good idea. How would he be able to stay away from her bed?
He drew a deep breath. “I give you my word to
behave as a gentleman. And my servants are very discreet. Your
reputation will not suffer.”
