GENRE: Historical Romance (Regency)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
Duke of Wychwood seeks retribution from the Earl of Pickering. When he finds
out the earl has a beautiful young niece, the duke thinks to involve her in his
feud, but is shocked to discover he is attracted to her.
The
orphaned niece of the earl, Lady Victoria, serves as governess to four of his
children and is made to feel like an interloper in her own home. A chance
encounter with the duke affords her the opportunity to enter Society, but to
take it means risking what little security she has.
Revenge and love don't sit well together, to have a future can
they learn to give up the past?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
From Chapter 3 – First Time Heroine Sees Hero
All
she could do was try to cuddle the small child until he began to calm. She
hugged him to her and spoke soft, comforting words into his ear. As his wails
began to slowly subside, she again glanced up to the bank of the river. She
almost dropped Daniel in surprise, as on the bank staring down at her were
three handsome men.
A
fierce blush stole over her entire body, which served to momentarily warm her
against the chill of the water swirling around her. One of the men was
particularly striking, and, despite herself, Victoria had trouble tearing her
eyes away from his. The man did not seem to care how rude he was being in
staring at her, and seemed mesmerized by her nonsensical mutterings to her
young charge. Finally, he caught himself from his reverie and sprang into
action.
Stripping
his perfectly tailored coat from his shoulders was a momentary effort.
Disregarding the hard work of his tailor and valet, the duke shrugged out of it
and tossed it to his brother as he called over his shoulder to Fred. “Bring our
horses closer. If I cannot leverage her up the bank on my own, they can be of
assistance.”
Keeping
his voice as low and calm as possible, Bryghton reached down towards the frightened
child. “Hand him over to me. We shall get him on shore first, and then we can
more easily pull you up.”
Despite
having calmed down, at these words Daniel tightened his grip on his only means
of survival and let out another frightened wail.
“Daniel,
my darling, it is going to be all right. This kind man is going to pull you up
and give you to Pansy. Pansy will have a lovely warm blanket to wrap you in and
I am quite sure she still has a couple of those delicious cookies you loved so
much. If you are very brave and let go of me, I promise you can have the
biggest piece of dessert that Cook has prepared for us tonight.”
