Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors!
I’m back this week with my second Georgian novel, Only Marriage Will Do is due release on June 9th, only about 3 weeks from now!
At this point in the story, Lady Juliet Ferrars is headed north, fleeing the man who claims to be her husband. Now, in the dead of night, a man has appeared in her room in the coaching inn.
The man raced toward her, calling out something she couldn’t hear for the blood pounding in her ears. The candle he carried blew out. He cursed and reached for her.
“Nooo, get away! Don’t touch me.” Slapping at his hands, she twisted to avoid him and landed with a thud, flat on her back. Air rushed out of her lungs.
He sped around the end of the bed.
She struggled to scream for Glynis, but produced only a high-pitched squeak.
The man knelt beside her.
The first book of the House of Pleasure series, Only Scandal Will Do, is available for .99 at Amazon.
Only Marriage Will Do is available for Pre-Order here.
That’s all for this week. Hope you enjoyed it!
And don’t forget to check out the rest of the Warriors here. There’s some fantastic snippets to be read.
Jenna Jaxon Romance--because passion is timeless. 
Tense. I’m hoping he’s there to help rather than capture. 🙂 Oh, and it looks like we are release day buddies in June. Awesome!

That’s a really tense, dramatic scene. I’m curious about the identity of this mystery man and what’s going to happen next.

Lots of meaningful action and emotion here. Great eight, or however many. (Hope this doesn’t post twice. WordPress is acting funny right now.)

She doesn’t know he’s her husband? Oh, wow…. how did this happen? And yet… he kneels beside her, so beyond scaring her half out of her wits, it doesn’t seem like he’s intent on hurting her.

He claims to have performed a proxy marriage a year before, but their engagement had been broken off and she doesn’t want to be married to him. So she’s not sure if she’s legally his wife and she’s not sure who the man in her room is. 🙂 No, it’s not a good situation at all! LOL
