EXCERPT:
Excerpt One:
Clutching
her elbow, he led her across the manicured lawn into a copse of trees.
What
are you do—”
He
swung them behind a tree and peered out. Whatever she wanted to talk about
suddenly lost importance. The villains following him were the more immediate
problem.
“Tell
me—”
“Shhhh.”
He pressed a finger to her lips.
Two
men in top hats stepped off the gravel path and picked their way across the
lawn.
Beau
marched C.C. deeper into the grove around trees and shrubs. Then through an archway
of fragrant vines to a fountain struggling to reflect hazy moonlight. They
needed to stay quiet and hidden.
“Before
you drag me any further into the bushes—”
Didn’t
the woman know the meaning of shhhh? She would give away their hiding place if
he didn’t do something quick. He pulled her to him and covered her mouth with
his. Mint and vanilla filled his senses.
Her
sweet, almost maidenly response surprised him. No, she probably wasn’t a tart.
Just a hasty stolen kiss, yet he couldn’t help appreciate the tantalizing fit
of her supple lips under his and how her body softened against him. His heart
stammered and launched into a faster beat. Lifting his head, he gazed about her
bewildered, upturned countenance, breathlessly poised for a man’s kisses. Hmm,
not entirely a maiden either.
Perhaps
another quick kiss would clarify matters?
