The Ice Duchess: Scandalous Regency Widows, Book 2 - Plot & Excerpts
After a long, luxurious bath in the biggest tub she’d ever encountered, she’d taken a seat before the roaring fire in her suite’s sitting room. She should feel relaxed and contented, perhaps even sleepy. But she did not. Not when she could still recall the feel of Markham’s strong, muscular arms about her, as he’d carried her here all the way from the stables. Or his deep voice, low and husky and full of delicious, wanton promise. “I’ll arrange for a bath and a supper tray to be sent up,” he’d murmured in her ear after he’d finished examining her bruised foot. “And when you are done, it might be a good idea to dismiss your maid for the evening. I will join you around eight.” Eight o’clock couldn’t come soon enough as far as Georgie was concerned. Flurries of nervous excitement skittered around inside her belly whenever she glanced at the mantel clock and saw the hour hand creeping toward the appointed time. When she put her hands to her cheeks they were hot and her skin tingled with awareness every time she moved; the lace along the neckline of her chemise scratched the tops of her too sensitive breasts and the cool silk of her pale blue robe slid along her arms as she fanned out her hair, making her shiver.
