  • "Mr. Wolfe’s gaze traveled up her torso to her eyes. His eyes darkened, gaze catching hers, and held. And held. Suddenly, the shed’s small space didn’t have enough air. She groped behind her, desperate to escape, to be away from these alarming feelings."

    Excerpt from Duchess Deceived

  • "The heat in the look he gave her should have dried her clothes in an instant. If she didn’t tear her gaze away, she would either incinerate on the spot or fall into his arms."

    Excerpt from Duchess Deceived

  • "He wrapped an arm around her, drawing her into a protective circle, shielding Charlie. Yet he put her in greater danger—at least, her carefully guarded emotions."

    Excerpt from Duchess Deceived

  • "The heat radiating from her mirrored the intense inferno raging inside him. She leaned a minuscule amount toward him. That small motion was all he needed. He followed his need to lean closer. Unable to stop, he bent his head to her upturned face and let his lips cherish the luxuriant softness of hers, their magnetic pull, their life-giving warmth."

    Excerpt from Duchess Deceived

  • "Pleasure flowed through him, something he hadn’t felt in a long time. How could she do this to him with only a kiss? He drank her in as though she were fresh water, and he a man dying of thirst. She welcomed him as if she were equally parched, which heightened his enjoyment of the kiss, of her."
