A Kissing Scene For This Week’s Book Hooks #MFRWHooks
This week I’m joining MFRW Authors for Book Hooks!
From The Bastard’s Iberian Bride
Wherein our Hero has second thoughts about running off to India:
“Can you see in the dark?” Her low murmur vibrated along his upper arm and into his chest, sending a new ripple through him.
They had reached her door. He slipped her hand away and leaned closer. “Yes and I’ll be on the lookout for a wee lass moving about in these halls.”
Her soft chuckle smelled like sweet brandy. His hands found their way around her waist.
“Will you please stay in your room, Paulette?”
“You’ll help me?” she whispered.
“Yes.”
The touch of her lips was like a hot brand. In the dark, she’d landed the kiss on his neck.
Oh, aye, he could see in the dark. He found her mouth and pressed his lips onto hers, wanting to taste, trying to be gentle.
The Blurb:
Daughter of spies
For a chance at true freedom, Paulette Heardwyn needs the fortune left her by her inscrutable father. But she doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to find it, and the only man with answers, the Earl of Shaldon, takes his secrets to the grave. Worse, the dead earl tries to force her marriage to his bastard son—and leaves her prey to a traitor seeking the same treasure she’s after.
Soldier, Steward, Bastard
Bink Gibson is ready to throw off his quiet life as steward to his old commander and head for India and the chance of prosperity. But before he can leave he’s summoned to the deathbed of the Earl of Shaldon, a meddling spymaster, a complete stranger…and his father.
And the Earl has set a trap Bink will never be able to resist.
