Waiting for Release!

Posted by Leslie on March 7th, 2007 | No Comments

I’m waiting for Triskelion to release my full-length historical, SECRET INTENTIONS. This book started a loooong time ago at the 2000 RWA Conference when I was in a workshop of Jo Beverly’s. She said one little fact and it got my brain thinking. Since then, the story has undergone several major revisions. I’m very excited to see it released to the public and I hope Triskelion will consider putting it out in print. Once it is available for sale, I plan on holding a contest, so please keep checking back for information and the link to buy! Here’s a teaser excerpt:

“We have several months to spend together, Miss Parker.” The words tumbled from his mouth in a low huskiness. “And it would not do well for you to allow secrets to stand between us.”

Wasn’t he the pot calling the kettle black? And yet, his secret could cause far more damage than hers.

“What secrets are you referring to, sir?”

Markham growled, drew in a deep breath but only managed to torment himself with the heady aroma of her hair. Already, she weakened him, but he must show her who was in control. She had no power here in London. And she’d better realize that now.

“I’ll learn your secrets one way or another,” he said, fighting the urge to press his lips to the top of her head.

She struggled, torturing him, but he held firm.

“You can make this easy by telling me now or I will use other ways to discover them.”

Miss Parker angled her head to glare at him. Shadows lurked in the depths of her green eyes. Shadows that spoke of veiled mysteries. “I’ll tell you nothing. Now release me or I shall scream.”

Passion flared in his blood, creating the urge to both kiss her and fling her away. He hated this agony of fury and desire that seemed inseparable and irrepressible when she was near. Only a day with her and she already weakened his self-control.
