The scent of jasmine – #Provence #EroticRomance #Giveaway @BohemienneIvy

Blurb

Adrift and lonely, Lily Greene travels to Provence to spend the summer with her aunt in the sunny south of France. In the vibrant city of Avignon, she meets Ludo and Auguste, two expert fencers who are also local actors performing in the upcoming Festival of Theater where they will present the classical tragedy, Cyrano de Bergerac.

When Lily joins their thespian troupe, portraying the lead female role, she discovers that real life mirrors the play they are rehearsing, for--just as Cyrano and Christian vie for Roxane-- Ludo and Auguste become intense rivals for Lily.

Handsome as a Hollywood movie star, Auguste is used to women falling into his bed. But when Lily spurns his amorous advances, drawn instead to the enigmatic Ludo, jealousy drives Auguste to seek revenge.
Will tragedy strike with a cruel twist of fate? Or will love triumph with Amour in Avignon?

Excerpt

A few moments later, he eased up onto an elbow, rubbing a finger over the base of her neck “A love bite,” he whispered, kissing the skin of her throat where it met her left shoulder. “I marked you as mine.” In the moonlight, a possessive gleam glinted in his dark, intense eyes. He rolled onto his side, pulling her into his arms and kissing her long, tousled hair.

Lily snuggled against him, nuzzling his chest hair, inhaling his alluring scent. “Can you spend the night? I don’t want you to leave.”

Ludo stroked her hair, pushing a strand from her face as he kissed her softly. “I don’t want to leave, either.” He wrapped the blanket around them, cradling her upon his chest. “Come…sleep in my arms, Lily.”

Her body sated, her heart full, Lily lay contentedly in his strong, sinewy arms. Ludo’s limbs twitched as he drifted off to sleep. As she inhaled the heady floral fragrance from her balcony which perfumed the night air, Lily knew that for the rest of her life, the scent of jasmine would always remind her of Ludovic Brissa
