In Pursuit Of A Scandalous Lady (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Dazed with sleep, Rebecca lay still for a moment, listening to the sounds of him moving in the dark, imagining what she couldn’t see. She loved him. She groaned and rolled over. “You should remain in bed—or in the hay—another hour,” he said. “You worked hard last night. Everyone would understand. We won’t leave until after the morning chores regardless. Mr. Stubbes has offered us a ride to the next village.” “And do you think Mrs. Stubbes yet lies abed?” “But the sick child is her own.” “And I can help her. You meet Mr. Stubbes. I’ll go into the house and see what I can do.” She felt his hands cup her face, and to her surprise, he gave her a fierce kiss. Would he call her “darling” again? “Very well,” he said. “I’ll see you at breakfast.” And then he went down the ladder. She dressed slowly in the dark, feeling bemused and uncertain, then almost giddy with pleasure. Could a man like Julian fall in love with someone like her? Would it matter to her if he couldn’t feel the same way?
