He studied her upturned face for a minute. Please forgive me. I don’t want you to hope. If there were any way— I know. She got to her feet. I even understand. She walked briskly to the door. I came do...
He inhaled and spoke without thinking, ignoring their audience. What has happened? You know full well, Your Grace, for what—who—I fight. Her eyes were glittering and he couldn’t believe it, but the ev...
He couldn’t take it anymore.He wrapped his hand around the back of her head and pulled her up, pulled her across his chest, pulled her into a kiss so filthily explicit his tongue might as well have be...
As if she’d merely sleepwalked through everything else in her life prior to his arrival.
And she arched, screaming, the lightning blazing from her center, sparking through her limbs, flying out her fingertips.She was incandescent.He fell atop her, heavy and male, pulling her legs up aroun...
This is my brother we’re talking about, Maximus. You’ll take his part before mine? Oh, he knew it was a mistake even before the words left his lips. Her shoulders squared. If I must. We shared a womb....
There's something about her, Caire said in a low voice. She cares for everyone about her, yet neglects herself. I want to be the one who cares for her.
I’m afraid I’m rather used to females making themselves shameless for me.
I need you. He licked her bruised lip to soothe it. I can't think straight without you. My world is all turned around, and I go through it in pain, wanting to hurt someone.

They had taken away something very important from him when he’d been made helpless. It should’ve broken him, being forced into chains. Yet it hadn’t. Even in her grief she was amazed. She framed his f...
The earl slowly pivoted to face her, the crunching of his boots in the gravel drive loud in the stillness. They stood only a few feet distant. He took a step, his beautiful, heavy-lidded eyes intent o...
I’ve never violated any woman. Have you killed? He paused at that, before reaching into the wardrobe to move aside her spare day gown. Once or twice. The men deserved it, I assure you.

He went to stand next to the bed and even though the room was unlit, he could make out, faintly, her slight form beneath the covers. The sight somehow calmed his soul. She lay in his bed, in his house...
He was in the doorway, his gaze locked with hers- hot, hungry, and very, very male. Then he let his eyes drop and deliberately perused her. From her flushed cheeks to her naked breasts, still encircle...
He took a deep breath and wished irritably that she would call him by his given name. He longed to hear her say Edward. But no. It would be highly inappropriate for her to call him by his Christian na...
