“She is,” Addy replied contentedly.
“And she’s happy?”
“Very happy, indeed.”
She repeated the sentiment to James later, as the coach pulled away, headed for Brighton.
“I am glad,” he said.
She leaned into his hand as he tucked away a stray strand of hair.
“I was very interested in seeing how well you looked holding a babe in your arms,” he whispered.
She blushed. “There are so very many things to see before then, though. I was thinking of seeing how you look sprawled nude against a Parisian backdrop.”
He raised a brow. “Nude?”
“It’s artistic, is it not? Don’t many young women go to Paris to hone their artistic skills?”
“You, my sweet, are a story teller, and that’s a different sort of artist.”
“I’ll learn to paint, if it means having you nude against a Parisian backdrop.” She squealed as he hopped across to her side of the carriage and gathered her in his arms. “Or perhaps I’ll write a naughty story about it.”
“Will you? Who will you tell it to?”
“Only you,” she said.
“That sounds . . . perfect.”
About the Author
USA Today Bestseller Deb Marlowe adores History, England and Men in Boots. Clearly she was destined to write Regency Historical Romance!
A Golden Heart Award winner and Rita nominee, Deb grew up in Pennsylvania with her nose in a book. Luckily, she'd read enough romances to recognize the true modern hero she met at a college Halloween party--even though he wore a tuxedo t-shirt instead of breeches and boots. They married, settled in North Carolina and produced two handsome, intelligent and genuinely amusing boys. Though she spends much of her time with her nose in her laptop, for the sake of her family she does occasionally abandon her inner world for the domestic adventure of laundry, dinner and carpool. Despite her sacrifice, not one of the men in her family is yet willing to don breeches or tall boots. She's working on it.
