The small white car approaching the house could be carrying only one person. He knew because his skin prickled with awareness. Susannah. His horse pranced sideways and he lost sight of her as she entered the avenue of cypress. No need to rush back. She’d be waiting for him when he arrived. He’d i...
Jake eyed Andi from the far end of the long table, over the sparkling crystal and polished plates of the state dinner. Tomorrow was Independence Day and he could feel in his gut that he still hadn’t convinced her to stay. Why was she so stubborn? She knew how many women would give a limb to be in...
I still feel like your little girl, even though I’m all grown up now. An uncomfortable lump formed in Lizzie’s throat as a chill crept down her spine. I know you don’t approve of my choice of husband, but I’m a woman now and old enough to make my own choices. He’s very kind to me. I’m sure you’d ...

Or maybe it was just the whole mansion vibrating with distress. The staff slunk along the walls, trying to be invisible. No one would look her in the eye. Except Fiona. “How could you do this?” Her stepdaughter’s face was blotchy and pale. “I mean, he’s my brother! That’s just sick.” Her pretty f...
She wanted to run fast and far. Had Jack heard her entire conversation with Leo? She’d rather die than have him know she was flat broke. He’d pity her, and that would be a fate worse than death. He’d obviously heard the last part because he walked toward them, slid a propr...
Gavin’s big, strong hands pulled her close as he deepened the kiss. His fingers pressed into her back, revealing the urgency of his own need. Their tongues met in a jolt of electricity and she enjoyed the rough rasp of his chin against hers. She writhed on the smooth leather, desire filling her b...
