Jenna Jaxon Romance–because passion is timeless.

Welcome back to  Jenna’s Snippet Sundays. In lieu of a blog hop, there’s just me with snippets from my current release or hopefully my next WIP.

Today I’m continuing with another snippet from my most recent release, As Long As You’re Mine. This snippet begins where last week’s left off. (If you need to catch up, last post is here.)

BLURB:

A scandalous mistake…or a wicked way to happiness?

Hoping to compromise herself, Lady Amantha Easton sneaks into the bedroom of her would-be suitor only to find a total stranger there—a totally handsome, charming stranger to be sure—but not at all the man she plans to marry. She leaves his room with her reputation intact—barely—only to fall victim to the gentleman’s charms in a public place. Now Amantha must face the fate she’s tried to avoid—marriage to a man who will never love her.

All Rafael Beauregard wanted was a warm bed and a good night’s sleep…but what he got was an unexpected romp with a beautiful vixen and a fiery kiss that left him wanting more. An excellent trade, except now he’s got to marry Lady Amantha, one of the most willful women he’s ever met. So Rafe’s challenge is to persuade her that marriage to him might be the best thing for them both…once he convinces himself.

EXCERPT:

Abruptly, she let go of Mr. Beauregard’s neck and pushed away from him. She absolutely could not entertain those kinds of thoughts. Not with this man. She must have surprised him, for he let her go and stood there smiling at her, that deep hunger almost leaping at her from his eyes. “Does that mean you want to stay, Amantha?”

Whirling around, she dove for the door, pulled it open, and fled into the corridor, uncaring who might see her leave Mr. Beauregard’s room. Because if she had stayed one more minute, she might well have answered, “Yes.”

Next week I’ll be beginning snippets from my Book of the Month, A Countess of Convenience, Chapter 2. If you want to read Chapter 1, it’s on Amazon as A Return to Life and you can get it for free if you click the link.

And fellow author from Weekend Writing Warriors, Carrie Anne Brownian, has put up a snippet from one of her works here. You should go check her out as well, especially if you enjoy historical fiction.

Welcome back to  Jenna’s Snippet Sundays. In lieu of a blog hop, there’s just me with snippets from my current release or hopefully my next WIP.

So sorry to have missed last week’s snippet, but my family was mourning the loss of our little gray bunny, Earl Grey, who passed away last Sunday morning.  I hope to post a memorial to him later this week, so readers will know what happened.  He was truly a very good, very sweet bunny.

However, today I’m continuing with another snippet from my most recent release, As Long As You’re Mine. This snippet begins where last week’s left off. (If you need to catch up, last post is here.)

EXCERPT:

“You mean the conversation where you thought I was Jenny?” Amantha pushed against him, trying to keep him at arm’s length, but she might have been trying to shove against a boulder. Mr. Beauregard had strength such as she’d not known in a man before.

“No. The one where we didn’t use words at all.” His smile widened, and he slowly lowered his head toward her until his mouth hung directly above hers. “Like this.” He sank his lips onto hers.

The floor beneath Amantha’s feet seemed to drop away. She clung to him, afraid she’d fall as the room suddenly spun around her. That merely pressing his lips to hers could create such a firestorm within her both delighted and frightened her. Yet she could not deny him. And slowly, she slid her arms around his neck, reveling in the heat that consumed her from head to toe. All this could have been hers forever if she’d let her father find her in Mr. Beauregard’s bed. Even now, she could stay here with him tonight. No one would know…

EXCERPT:

“This was the room Lady Amantha brought you to, Sara?”

“Yes, my lord. She said Lord Abercrombie had been taken in a bad way.”

“Where is Abercrombie’s room, Armstrong? Perhaps she did make a mistake.”

Amantha sent up a prayer of thanksgiving.

“He’s further up the corridor, on the opposite side.”

“May I go back to bed, uncle? I’m devilishly sleepy.”

“Good night, Rafael. Sorry for the confusion. I will look for you at breakfast.”

“Yes, uncle. Good night.”

The door shut, and bare feet padded back to the bed. “They’re gone. You can come out now.”

With a gigantic gasp, Amantha threw off the pillows and gulped in fresh air.

Mr. Beauregard sat on the end of the bed, grinning at her. “A pretty good performance, if I do say so myself.”

Amantha clambered down off the bed. “I have to admit it was, Mr. Beauregard. Are you indeed an actor? I must applaud you whether you are or not.”

“No, not an actor. An architect.” He gazed at her, his dark eyes registering a deep hunger that made Amantha catch her breath. “But I will take any accolades you wish to give me, Lady Amantha.”

“A heartfelt thank you will have to suffice, I am afraid.” She needed to get out of this room immediately. Something about Mr. Beauregard made her want to give him more—a lot more, in fact—than just thanks. And that would never do. Amantha turned for the door.

“Now they are gone, you could stay, you know.” His feet thudded to the floor as he slid off the bed. “We could continue with our earlier conversation.”

She whirled around to find him directly in front of her and stumbled backward.

Quicker than a pouncing lion, he grabbed her arms and pulled her toward him.

Sorry for the hiccup last week, but I’m back again with another snippet for you.

Today I’m continuing with another snippet from my most recent release, As Long As You’re Mine. This snippet begins where last week’s left off. (If you need to catch up, last week’s post is here.)

EXCERPT:

Someone pounded on the door. “Rafael? What are you doing in there?”

“Get in the bed!” Snatching her up roughly by her arm, Mr. Beauregard hurled her across the top of the bed and tossed the pillows onto her. “Don’t move, and don’t say a word.”

Despite the suffocating position, Amantha pressed her face into the mattress and froze.

The door burst open with a clatter, the thumping of feet on the hardwood floor following directly.

“What the devil is going on here, Rafael?”

“You tell me, uncle.” The sleepy drawl came through clearly. Amantha prayed this man was a decent actor. “I was asleep until you banged on the door.”

“Where is my daughter, sir?” Father sounded angrier than she’d ever heard him. Amantha tensed from habit then slowly made her muscles relax. She must stay calm.

“Not in here, sir, I assure you.”

“Rafael, this is Lord Clarendon. The maid here says his daughter, Lady Amantha Easton, said she was coming in here to check on her cousin.”

“My apologies, my lord, but my answer is the same. The lady is not here.” There was a pause that seemed to last a lifetime. “Perhaps she entered, realized she’d mistaken the room, and left. But I was asleep until just a few minutes ago.”

Mr. Beauregard was a very cool liar. Amantha prayed to God he was a good one as well.
