Bared To The Viscount (The Rites Of May Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
John’s hands were tugging at the back closure to her dress, loosening it with expert speed. His fingers trembled slightly, though, and his breath came in hard pants; a strange energy pulsed through them both, and she fancied she could hear his heartbeat thundering. Certainly, her own beat wild. She hardly knew what to think. He wasn’t going to marry Miss Lawton? He didn’t love beautiful, lush, radiant Annabel? He didn’t want a woman like that? Was it really possible a man like Viscount Parkhurst wanted Mary Wilkins, clergyman’s daughter, clergyman’s spinster sister, instead? Was it possible he would choose her, willingly? Apparently he did. Even as he drew apart the back of her gown, baring her shoulders, John feathered kisses along her brow, over her ears, down the line of her jaw. And while he kissed, he murmured extraordinary things: “My Mary. Sweet Mary. My sweet, lovely Mary.” “Lovely?” she said, astonished. “I’m not lovely.” “Lovely,” he insisted. “I think the moonlight is addling your brains.”
