Blurb
Fearing
her “gifts” will be used to defeat her sister Matilda, Elspeth
escapes the Black Mountain priory that has sheltered them since their
father's death, only to find herself indebted to, of all men, a
Scotsman, whose loyalties are in question...
Whatever
Malcom had expected, it wasn’t this. Elspeth was standing near the
brazier, wearing a scandalously diaphanous chainse that left little
to the imagination. The room was misty, perhaps from her bath, and
the firelight played off the shadows in her gown, revealing the
shadowed valley of her breast and the darkened hollow between her
thighs. Her red-gold hair was still damp and braided into one full
plait that fell over her shoulder so that the damp, feathery tip
teased at her nipple. God help him, even as tired as he was, the
sight of her hardened him fully.
“I
was…”
“Waiting
for me?” he said with a slow, unfurling smile, and now that they
were home, preparing to spend their first night… alone… in their
bed... he felt the rightness of this union down to his bones—and in
one bone more than any other.
He
crossed the room and took her into his arms, kissing her soundly.
“You’re here,” she said, once their lips parted. “Tis no
dream.”
“Nay,
lass. But if it is,” he said, “would that I never awaken,” and
he drew her slowly toward the bed, kissing her shoulder, letting his
hands roam freely over the treasure of her body.
