And it was all because of this man who held her and whispered her name like a prayer as his lips brushed against her ear.
She drew back from Nicholas’s tight embrace and sought his gaze. “That was completely improper and absolutely wonderful.”
“Just like you.” Nicholas kissed her nose. “Wonderfully improper. That’s one of the things I love most about you. Indeed, that’s what I loved about you from the very start.”
Abigail smiled and splayed her hands across his wide chest, enjoying the feel of his hard, sleek flesh. The pounding of his heart, which he’d declared was all hers. “I’m beginning to think you just want me for the sex.”
He brushed his fingers down her hot cheek. “I’ll always want you for the sex. But would you like to know what I want most of all?”
Abigail shook her head. “Tell me,” she whispered, her voice husky with tears and love. The look in Nicholas’s eyes was so tender, it wouldn’t take much to make her cry.
“To always make you smile. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my days doing just that, my love.”
When Nicholas kissed her, Abigail was happy to note he tasted of tears of happiness too.

Bianca, the widowed Countess of Wells, secretly lusts after her much younger, rakishly handsome footman Harry Blake. Even though he has been in her employ for six months, she has not succumbed to her indecorous urges to take him as a lover… until one wicked night at an isolated country inn when she throws caution to the wind and offers Blake a wholly improper proposition.
Harry Blake, the bastard son of a duke and governess, is the epitome of the perfect footman, except for one thing—he fantasizes about seducing his beautiful mistress. When Lady Wells proposes that they become lovers for one night only, he is torn. Even though he wants her with every fiber of his being, he suspects that forbidden fruit once tasted, can be awfully addictive. He wonders if one night of passion will be enough, for either of them—especially now that he realizes he might very well be falling in love with his bella Bianca. But when all is said and done, Blake can hardly refuse such a tempting proposition, no matter how unwise or improper. He just prays that he can put a smile on his mistress’s beautiful face…
