Only Seduction Will Do releases on June 5, 2018. Only 2 more days until Release Day!
Welcome to my next set of snippets for Only Seduction Will Do, which will be out in just two more days! *throws confetti*
In this week’s snippet I’m continuing with the night after Jack and Alethea have returned to London from Knowlton’s Keep. Alethea has gone to bed, is in an exhausted sleep, when Jack knocks at her door. She expects him to want to come to her bed, but he is fully dressed and means to leave her to participate in a duel as a second.

He set the candle down and pried her hands off him and gathered her into his arms. “I promise you I will return unscathed, but I must go; I am obligated.”
“To whom? Lord Trevor?” She couldn’t let him go to his death—no matter to whom he felt indebted. “You will place duty to Lord Trevor above duty to your wife? From what you’ve told me, he seems more Lord Dalbury’s friend than yours.”
“No, my dear, the obligation is to…a woman.”
Rage flew into her as she jerked back, tearing herself from his arms. “Another woman?”
Only Seduction Will Do is available for pre-order at Amazon, B & N, Kobo, and Apple.

Release Party Grand Prize
I also plan to host a party on my blog on release day, Tuesday, June 5, where there will be party games, prizes, swag and a special grand prize to go along with the Georgian setting of Only Seduction Will Do. I’ll be offering copies of the books in the series as well. So plan to stop by here on Tuesday and join the Celebration of Seduction!
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 . . .

I wonder if she’s the woman referred to. If not, that’s a giant plot twist that makes their road to HEA even more twisted!

He’s possibly a cad for getting involved in a duel concerning another woman, and an idiot for admitting it. At least that must be what she’s thinking, without hearing his explanation.
