He didn’t even like balls. Julian glanced at Mrs Whittleworth who was waiting by the door with him. Tugging his necktie, he glanced up at the stairs and waited. Why was he always waiting for her? He was tempted to scold Mrs Whittleworth for mentioning the ball but it had seemed a good idea. The t...
He woke already damp with perspiration, eyes gritty from lack of sleep. Rubbing them, he groaned as heavy snoring echoed through the wall and threatened to shake the candelabras from the roof. Rolling off the sleeping pallet, James forced himself up and tugged on his chausses before slipping his ...
It was absurd, really, that he still had such an impact on her. No sign of their late night lingered under his eyes, unlike her. A little powder and rouge had definitely been called for, and if she had time, she’d have to indulge in a little nap later. There were benefits to having a younger love...
Hettie sat herself by it and draped her hair over her shoulder to do her best to dry it. The room was pleasant and reminded her a little of home. A slanted roof and small cottage window added a cosy feel to it and the linens were a floral print, similar to that favoured by her mother. ...
Lila glanced at Anna. What could she say to Harris? Your twin brother prefers his bed to being at your bedside? Lila took his hand and eyed his clammy skin. The morning light had begun to flicker through the thick curtains, spilling tiny streams of light over the bedding. Anna had accompanied Lil...
The desire to throw up her skirts and plunge his fingers deep into her to remind her of how good they were still fired through his veins. Her fingers rested lightly on his forearm as he guided her home. He could only blame the moment of madness—not taking her then and there that was, rather than ...
She could have occupied one of the benches but the day had turned cold as the sun had dropped and she didn’t relish the idea of being by the hole in the wall. She shuddered and drew her cloak around her. The fire cast great shadows about the room. Were she on her own she w...
The other women walked arm in arm as Lucy lagged behind. The younger girls were sweet enough, but to them Lucy was far too old to join in with their conversations and she didn’t exactly feel up to joining in with their gossip. Especially as she was sure it was one of them that spotted her and Dom...
I’m not sure why she let me sleep with her again. I didn’t expect it. I was bracing myself for another argument. I was waiting for regret. Thank God, she didn’t express any. Though she’s still wary, I think. Damn, I can’t believe Rob messed her up so bad. Why did I never step in? If I’d have know...

The stores were still low and, though the fields were planted, they had little remaining from the last harvest. There would be no berries yet but wild mushrooms grew in the forests just beyond Woodchurch and a few medicinal herbs could be found if you knew what you were looking for. She invited T...
Like a winged demon he came, the hooves of his horse beating a path to her soul. His dark cloak billowed behind him as he galloped along the muddy path, birthed from the gloomy woods that bordered the village. She watched him with interest. Aside from merchants, strangers were an uncommon sight i...
Ragni had her stand by him at the feast while his guests from a nearby settlement were on either side of them. She caught the way their gazes followed her and she felt as though insects were crawling all over her. She felt bare and vulnerable in her elegant gown. Much like...
Eleanor had not even eaten yet and her stomach grumbled as the carriage driver and footman brought in the books with quiet efficiency, but she struggled to make herself eat. Two days hidden away in her room, replaying every moment with Lucian in her mind and questioning why she had not said yes a...
His weary bones needed the thick blankets and soft mattress. He couldn’t recall the last time he’d slept in a proper bed. The fighting had meant much time sleeping on the ground or in castle halls on thin straw pallets—if he was lucky. Servants had finally made themselves ...
He looked so incredibly handsome in his regimental jacket and kilt. With his jaw clean shaven, his hair slightly tamed, he made Rose’s heart stutter every time he glanced her way. And, goodness, they had danced together. For the first time in her life, she had danced with a man. She had danced wi...
He closed his mouth around the fabric and was rewarded with her arching up into him. He slid an arm around her back and clutched her to him and he sucked and nibbled lightly on her nipple. He still wasn’t sure why he had returned a day early, only that he had longed to tas...
She was out of time. War would be upon them in a few short days and the Viking would take Lorna far from here... and far from Logan. She curled a fist and fought the rising tingling in her hand. It would be so easy to jog his memory. Just a little sprinkle... She shook her...
