A Suitable Affair
by Erica Taylor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Regency Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Lady
Susanna McCalister is young and beautiful, but her marriage prospects thus far
have been rather lacking. Rather than living a life of spinsterhood, she
decides a loveless marriage, to the dull and unromantic Lord Riverton, is
better than none at all. One day while strolling through Hyde Park with her
suitor, she is almost trampled to death by a rambunctious rider, Lord Westcott.
Little does she know that this earl, who is as handsome as he is arrogant,
would weasel his way into her heart. But the earl has demons of his own that
threaten to complicate their secret romance, as he blames Lord Riverton for his
sister's death. Can Susanna tame this tormented earl and help save herself and
other women from a deadly fate?

EXCERPT TWO:
He
was briefly reminded of the fiery, blue gaze that had been staring up at him in
shock days earlier in the park, but he didn’t have time to ponder the matter
further as the subject of his thoughts came barreling around a corner, plowing
right into him. She bounced off his broad chest harmlessly, though shaken and
surprised to find a solid body in front of her.
Ian
recognized her immediately—her dark chocolate hair and startlingly bright blue
eyes giving her away. Her face was round, her nose slightly narrow. Her irises
were ringed with a darker blue halo, echoing the late summer sky outside. Her
hair was pulled away from her face and wound at the base of her neck. Her
perfect, ivory skin was barely sun-kissed, though he could tell there were a
few rebellious freckles she had tried to fade with powder.
“Goodness,
I do beg your pardon,” Lady Susanna said as he helped her right herself. She
brushed an errant wisp of dark hair back from her eyes and looked up to his
face. I
Intelligent
eyes stared back at him as recognition flashed through them.
“You
are fully pardoned, I assure you,” he said smoothly, chuckling under his
breath, as if the mere thought of her had summoned the very lovely Lady Susanna
to him.
“I
am prone to not peeking around a corner before I stand in a lovely lady’s way.”
Her
eyes narrowed. “You, sir, should be more careful where you walk and where you
ride.”
“Is
it not proper for one to walk in a hallway?” he asked, looking around
curiously. “Or to ride a horse in a park? Perhaps it is you who should be
careful to not wander into the path of a rider on horseback. Or a man walking
down a hall.”
“You
should ride more carefully and not at such a great speed,” she said, pointing
her finger at him. “I cannot imagine what was so important that required
breakneck speeds through a crowded park.”
“I
apologize, my lady, for not being more courteous on your designated walking
paths,” he said, dramatically placing a hand over his heart in mock sorrow. “I
assure you my future romps will take place where you are not present.”
