If The Earl Only Knew (The Daring Marriages) - Plot & Excerpts
He reached for her before remembering that he had escorted her back to her chamber in the early morning, before the house had awoken. They had whispered and giggled like guilty children stealing sticky treats. He rolled over in bed and breathed deeply. Her scent, an intoxicating mix of soap and lavender, still lingered on the pillows. Kate’s arrival the night before had been most unexpected. In truth, he had prepared himself for a long time of marital celibacy before Kate would be ready to share his bed. He had shoved aside his more amorous impulses, not wanting to frighten her away, particularly since she was overly skittish to begin with. But last night…last night was beyond anything he had allowed himself to dream. He took a deep breath of the cool, early morning air. The fire had been lit in the grate, but the room was still chill and frost shone like sparkling diamonds on the windowpane. Today, he would marry Lady Katherine. Life was very good indeed.
