The Stanhope Challenge - Regency Quartet - Four Regency Romances - Plot & Excerpts
A short ride of ten minutes, the journey seemed to take ten years. But snuggled against Jack’s chest, Emma listened to his heartbeat and the pace resounded with her own yearning. To make love to him, to be loved by him for just one night seemed so impossible days ago that she had feared to make this last request in her offer. But he had agreed and now he seemed as eager as she. Do not delude yourself, Emma. Men love rarely. Her mother’s voice, her mother’s warning rang in her mind. Emma struggled with the reality of her situation. She fought back the dour words, so daunting to her fortitude. But I do not wish for love from him. Only the deflowering. She squirmed in her seat. Be honest, Emma, declare you want more. Tell him. Why not? “You are sad. Why?” Jack lifted her chin and searched her gaze. “If you have second thoughts on this marriage or the consummation, I can—” “No.” She threw him a weak smile. “I was thinking of people who have nothing to do with us.” Jack’s silver eyes seemed to look straight through her.
