Hiding Rose
Page 22
There was such a calm acceptance in her voice that Barnaby turned to stare at her. At first he wasn’t sure she really meant it but, when she turned a loving look on him that rocked him to his very core, he knew he had no reason to doubt her.
She would indeed wait for him, and he would hurry back to her.
The End.
HOPELESS HEART
COMING SOON
Georgiana Bentley is tired of being a good girl. She is fed up of doing what her parents and her brothers have always told her to do. Her life is stifling, and she yearns to be free of it, especially now that her heart is shattered beyond repair.
She had loved Will practically all of her life; ever since he tugged her pigtails when she was eight years old. As she had matured into a young woman, her love for him had grown with her. To discover that he is now to be married to someone else leaves her world broken. Determined to save herself the pain of having to attend his wedding, she decides to retire to the country to live with her aunt.
Before she goes, though, she sets about experiencing each of the activities on her list of lifetime achievements, regardless of the consequences. What she doesn’t expect are the surprises it brings her.
Will has never stopped to consider Georgiana as anything other than a rather pesky friend whom he has always bailed out of trouble. When her wayward behaviour scandalises those around her, it is Will who is sent to speak to her. Unfortunately, he is unable to stop her scandalised pursuit of pleasure. Instead, he is left to watch her race headlong into situations no lady should experience, and forced to do everything in his power to limit the damage to her reputation.
What he sees in Georgiana, is an entirely different woman to the one he thought he knew. Georgiana is wild, carefree, funny, charming, and downright beautiful, and not at all like he had expected.
Will is soon left to battle with his own jealousy when a rather determined suitor sets his sights on her. When the rather determined exploits of the suitor challenges Will’s place in her life, he has to face the horrible prospect of losing her. Is it too late to cancel his wedding to someone else and persuade the woman he really wants to be his wife?
When events surrounding Georgiana turn sinister, Will faces the fight of his life and it isn’t to persuade Georgiana to consider him as her future husband.
Their race across the country leaves them facing entirely different futures to the ones they thought they had mapped out – but can they ever be together? Will he be forced to go through with the wedding already planned to someone else? Or will Georgiana’s suitor succeed in ensnaring her first?
RECKLESS HEART
Saved By Desire Series
Book Six
COMING SOON
Horrified at receiving a proposal from the one man in London she would never marry, Marguerite leaves the scene, and runs straight into the arms of Joseph ‘Joe’ Haversham, one of the Star Elite’s best undercover operatives.
It quickly becomes evident that Joe suspects she is not as innocent as she appears, and is in fact involved in helping one of London’s most notorious criminals commit his crimes. Determined to clear her name, Marguerite is drawn into a complex web of deceit and pretence that makes her doubt everything she sees and question everybody’s behaviour, including Joe’s.
Joe is coldly furious when he finds himself having to prove his innocence to her just to get to the truth. When he does, he demands something in return – something that at first, Marguerite isn’t prepared to give. However, when someone makes an attempt on her life, she has no choice but to go along with Joe’s proposal to capture the person responsible. Posing as Joe’s intended wife is just about as ridiculous as accepting the Count’s offer of marriage but, if it proves to Joe that she isn’t involved in any crime then Marguerite knows she must. In doing so though, she alters the course of both of their futures, and quickly finds herself contemplating making the charade become a reality.
With his colleagues surrendering to the dubious delights of matrimony all around him, Joe is more determined than ever not to become one of them. Unfortunately for him, Marguerite has other ideas. Will she succeed in catching her man, or will Sayers finally capture one of the Star Elite’s most hardened warriors?
