I Kissed An Earl: Pennyroyal Green Series - Plot & Excerpts
He saw her leaning against the rail of the ship. Almost as though she was waiting for him. A strand of hair whipped gaily about her lips in the wind, an escapee from her coiffure the way she was an escapee from her family. He found himself rooting for the rest of her hair to escape. He was before her in two strides. Almost out of pique, he caught the strand between his fingers. Stilled it. It slid like silk in his grasp. He held on to it longer than he should, helpless not to. Captivated by the small, intense pleasure of it. “One got away, Miss Redmond,” he teased softly. Her eyes were in shadow. But he could see her mouth curve a little. And even over the rush of the sea, he could hear her breathing. Which mean her heart was beating faster now. He liked being the reason for this. Slowly her hand went up to take the strand from him. He knew the backs of her hands were untenably soft, because he’d covered them today with his own rough ones during the Potato Incident. He sensed everywhere she was achingly soft, her smooth pale skin emblematic of her sheltered, privileged life.
