Welcome to my next set of snippets for Only Seduction Will Do, which will be out in early June.

Jack and Alethea have entered into an arranged marriage, and while Alethea is infatuated with Jack, he is not in love with her. He agreed to marry her to save her from ruin, but has agreed to a marriage in name only. At this point, they are on their wedding trip to Knowlton’s Keep, an ancient castle belonging to Alethea’s cousin’s family. The butler has just brought Alethea the day’s post. We continue from the point we left off last week.

Oh, to hold that body against hers, to feel the whipcord strength with her own hands. The thought made her heat from top to toe. Certainly, it would be soon when she could hold him to her, have him hold her in those steely arms…

Lunging with a cry of victory, Jack thrust the button-tipped foil against the wall, touched it briefly, then stood smiling and wiped the thin sheen of sweat on his sleeve. He wagged his blade back and forth, then turned, and halted as soon as he saw her standing behind him. “I didn’t hear you, my dear.” He smiled roguishly, again mopping his brow with his sleeve. His breath came in sharp puffs so he’d obviously been at it for some time. “Is luncheon ready?”

Alethea had to force herself to speak—The sight of him so disheveled, the masculine scent of sweat rising off him, acted like a fine whiskey to her senses.

BLURB:  

“Won’t you come to bed, my lord?” 
 
In a vulnerable moment, Alethea Forsythe allows herself to be seduced by a married peer.  Now she is with child—and without recourse.  Her reputation will soon be in tatters and she will be forced to wed a stranger—unless she takes matters into her own hands.

When Jack Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Manning, is summoned from the House of Pleasure on a matter of importance, he hardly expects to receive a marriage proposal. He’s long been aware of Alethea’s infatuation with him, but at twenty-three, taking on an expectant bride is not in his plans.  Yet the desperation in the lady’s lovely eyes overrides his misgivings.

Alethea would not have believed it possible for a man to be too chivalrous. But though her new husband is perfectly amicable in public, he insists they maintain separate quarters. Desperate to possess his heart and prove herself a wife in every way, she boldly reaches out to Jack. And as their unexpected connection between silken sheets is tested by jealousy and misfortune, Jack must decide where honor ends…and true passion begins . . .
