Deep,
dark secrets. We all have them. Guilty
pleasures we never confess. Inner thoughts we guard in our soul. Whether one
accepts them, buries them, or pretends they don’t exist; secrets are there,
under the surface of consciousness, scratching to be revealed.
And
that’s the problem. Secrets are alive. They pester, prod, and insist on being
heard. They dare to be exposed. So much so, many of us produce new secrets to
cover the old in a frantic attempt to destroy the compulsion to confess.
In
His Forbidden Debutante, Randolph attempts to smother his love for a woman in
his past and advance the Earldom by choosing a practical wife. Still the difficult
choice comes at a high price.
How
will he forget the intimate conversation shared by correspondence with a woman
who disappeared with a word? This yearning begs the question is he hiding his
secrets or are they hiding him? Will he be able to forget the past and embrace
the future?
Lavinia
Montgomery is on the cusp of independence. Having lost the one man she loved,
she isn’t ready to settle for a sensible match. When she marries, if she marries, it will be to a man of
her choosing—one who respects her opinion, shares her passion and cherishes her
gift of love like the author of numerous love letters locked in a rosewood box
on her bureau, a reminder of the possibility of true love.
This
well-kept privacy binds and separates Livie and Randolph, exerts control
through passion, confrontation, abandonment, and realization because secrets
kept for years become a strong force with will all its own.
His
Forbidden Debutante is a romantic character driven story with the right balance
of sensuality and action to keep you turning the pages.
His Forbidden Debutante Excerpt: All rights reserved,
Copyright 2016.
He cradled her face with his
palms, holding her mouth to his. She tasted like a fantasy, ethereal, sweet and
forbidden, a temptress who experimented with sin, yet at the same time conjured
cherished remembrances of childhood, daring, carefree adventure. She even
smelled like the honeysuckle flowers that grew beneath his window. They were
bonded somehow. Plighted.
Her tongue touched his, at
first a flick of curiosity, then a slide of assertive demand, only to curl
around his with inviting bliss. She offered and he took. He could hardly think
for the pleasure of it, falling down a well of pleasure and he didn’t care a
whit.
He heard the quiescent rustle
of fabric before he experienced her touch, the composed caress of her
fingertips along his jaw. Such a tender affection in the throes of their
passion, the opposing sensations engulfed him, warred at his conscience and
threatened anarchy, urging him to continue though he knew it as wrong. Didn’t
want it to stop. He needed to stop. Damn it to hell, he had to stop, but the
decision did not translate to action.
She was wondrous and original,
yet somehow warm and familiar, all things combined, and he pulled her closer,
not wanting a breath of space between their bodies as he kissed with all the
pent yearning he’d stored for too much time, aching desire and dire longing. He
deepened their embrace and moved his hands from her shoulders, over her arms to
her waist, locking her within his hold. She made a tiny noise in her throat
that ignited his blood like fire. Did she experience the same ferocious need
that devoured his better sense? That dared him to do, want, take what he knew
he shouldn’t?
Blood drummed in his veins,
through his heart to his groin. What was this ferocious torture? He barely
conceived thought, his body dictating all action. He wanted to feel her smooth
flesh, the pleasure of her scent filling him, tempting him. He slid his hands
upward, his fingers poised at the soft swell of her breasts. He could feel her
every breath, each tremble hot and inviting. He wanted more. So much more.
