Jaye Ramsey decided to prove to her eccentric grandmother
that time travel only existed in movies by vacationing in Bolivia with her
friends. When she woke up in Hawksatter, England, 1735—the same town her
grandmother supposedly vanished from as a young woman—Jaye found refuge at a
hunting lodge but the strapping, reclusive baron who took her in reminded her
all too well she was a lone woman at his mercy.
Accused of murdering his newly-wedded wife a decade
earlier, Lord Lucas Kenway closed the family farm and shut out the world. He
never expected the little spitfire he claimed responsibility for would turn his
quiet life upside down. Pushed together by fate and his meddling servants,
Lucas wanted Jaye on his own terms and refused to surrender his hardened
heart.
Then a mysterious wise man offered Jaye a way home.
Should she return to the future and the only life she’d
ever known, or stay in an uncertain past as a stranger in a new world?
EXCERPT
His mouth
descended on hers, his arms encircled her waist, and the anger in her veins
heated to desire. Her heart pounded in her throat and she wanted to rip off
Lucas’s clothes and kiss every inch of the arrogant baron.
Jaye jerked out
of his embrace before she lost all control. “I can’t. I’m sorry.”
“I swear you’re
a siren. You invade my every thought and I’m at my wits’ end on how to deal
with you.” His dark gaze bore into hers. “I wish to court you.”
“How can you
court me if I return home? You can’t have it both ways.”
“I’ll be blunt.”
Lucas straightened his frock over his chest and towered over her. “You’re a
respectable lady and I hold you in high esteem, but I do not believe you’re
pure, contrary to my earlier assumption. Correct me if I’m wrong.”
“Virginal?” She
clenched her fists as he nodded. “You’re not wrong. Is that a problem?”
“No. In fact,
I’m relieved.” Lucas grasped her hand, sucked her index finger into his mouth
and swirled his tongue over the digit. Her heart stuttered in her chest. Then he
popped her finger back out with a smacking sound. “I will never utter a word of
our affair to anyone. I will never slander your name, speak ill of you or hurt
you. I just want to lose time in your body.”
His touch burned
through her. “What you want is a mistress, not a proper courtship.”
“You’re right. I
will find a way to return you to your family as promised but I need to lie
beside you until then.” He clasped her narrow waist with his palms, nuzzled her
hairline with his nose and then pressed small kisses along the curve of her
neck. Goosebumps followed the trail of his lips. “I know you desire me,
jaybird.”
Author Bio
Writing is the fruit to
happiness.
Author of six novellas, she
published her first book in 2012 and hopes to publish countless more in the
future. As a fan of contemporary, paranormal and historical novels alike, she
can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a wonderland
of romance and adventure, laughter and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s
down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks.
After all, what’s a girl to do when there are people jabbering away in her head
and it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.
