SHE MADE A PROPOSAL...
Life strikes Storm Graham a shattering blow when she
learns her father has bartered her to a man she detests. Storm is beautiful,
self–assured and fiercely independent, and refuses to be a pawn in her father’s
schemes, yet she can find no way out of this bargain made in hell. Going on the
offensive she asks the wealthiest man on the eastern coast of England to marry
her, never believing she might fall in love.
HE TRIED TO REFUSE...
For Hadden Johnston life has provided everything he ever
wanted, including a sanctuary for homeless children. He is wealthy, handsome
and happily unencumbered...until stunning Storm Graham marches into his life
and proposes a marriage of convenience. Yet this type of marriage to a woman
who inflames his senses is far from acceptable. If he’s going to be tied down,
he will move heaven and earth to have this woman warming his bed.
EXCERPT
“Did you or did you not set out to
seduce me?” he queried, laughing a bit inside but relishing her innocence.
“Yes, yes I did,” she told him.
Her honesty might just be his
undoing. “What if I told you your plan was a success? Consider me thoroughly
seduced and ready for your next plot.”
“Oh, I don’t have one.” She lowered
her lashes before looking back to him.
He bent over and kissed her, their
lips melding together. Take it slow. Don’t scare her. You don’t want her to
tell you to stop. He groaned, bloody hell that would be hard. For a moment,
he wished she did have an agenda because he bloody well wasn’t sure about his.
His tongue traced the seam of her
lips, parting them slightly. They’d been down this road before, and he hoped
she remembered the other kisses, sweet poignant kisses but innocent as hell.
Smiling when he heard a tiny moan of
pleasure, he deepened the kiss. His hands around her waist, he pulled her
closer, and the feel of her breasts against his chest sent a funnel cloud of heat
coursing through him.
Sensations so deep he’d never felt
anything like these flowed inside. Spreading his hand on her back, he waited
for another response as his tongue reached inside her mouth, tasting her,
exploring.
She ran her fingers through his hair
then tugged his head closer before releasing him and their first contact.
“Is this how seduction feels?” Her
warm breath feathered across his cheek.
When he looked down, he saw breasts
and shadowed, titillating cleavage. Deep evocative sensations pulsed through
him. He moved his hand from her waist across her bared shoulder, the contrast
mercuric. The urge to dip his finger into the valley between her breasts
overpowered common sense. She’d purposely designed the dress for him, for his
touch. She was lush and ripe, and he realized she was not protesting as he had
expected.
