Unedited excerpt:

Lord Blackford sat on his horse just a few yards away. He was so handsome, so charming, so dangerous. Her breath caught.

Then he looked up and noticed her.

Lenora gasped with the stark need so obvious in his eyes. The parting of his lips ushered a wave of heat through her blood. He licked his lips and her thighs dampened.

She nudged her horse down the stream to him, suddenly confident and determined to experience passion and pleasure while she still had the chance.

“You must stay away from me,” he said the moment she was beside him.

“Why?” She stared at his lips.

“Because you are to marry my uncle.”

“And?”

He drew in a deep, shaking breath. “And I want you.”

Lenora reached across and placed her hand on his muscular thigh. “I thought about you after you left last night.”

She felt him tense, but he did not move away. His eyes closed. “No. Don’t tell me.”

“You brought my body alive and left me wanting.” Her fingers pressed into the fabric, slid ever so slowly upward. “I’ve never had that feeling before.”

Lord Blackford captured her face in his hands and pulled it to his. His lips closed over hers with a searing heat. Lenora opened her mouth, invited his passion. His silky tongue circled hers, then drew it into his mouth. They stroked, caressed, entangled.
