MORE THAN A SCANDAL
MORE THAN A SCANDAL
Lovely Catherine Miller has always been timid--until the treachery of unscrupulous cousins threatens her childhood home. But her discovery of the journal of the notorious "Thief of Robinson Square" has given the resourceful lady a plan. To exact a righteous vengeance, she will don the mantle of this "Robin Hood" who, years ago, preyed on pompous Society. She doesn't realize, however, that the one man in London who has sworn to stop her is the man she has loved in secret since she was twelve!
An important mission to unmask a traitor has brought Major Marcus Dunn back to Catherine Miller, only to find that the shy, awkward girl he remembers is now an enticing young woman with a spirit as strong as his. But the tempting enchantress guards a secret, and Marcus fears his desire for her could expose his own--and send them both careening recklessly toward a passionate love far more perilous than mere scandal.
Read an excerpt:
"Stop shilly-shallying and tell me the truth," Catherine demanded.
Shrugging, Marcus leaned forward. "I'm here to obtain money."
"Obtain?"
"Not to steal it. But simply to gain some funding, some support needed for certain supplies necessary for the war."
"Why send you?" Doubt shimmered in her stormy gaze and one golden brow lifted. She'd never make it on Drury Lane with an expressive face like that. "There are plenty of influential officers. You have no connections."
"Not true," Marcus countered enjoying how she challenged him. "I saved a certain nobleman's son and my appearance here in Town is intended to invoke his gratitude. I can say little more of the circumstances are they are quite confidential."
She stared at him a long moment, then exhaled noisily, sending him a hint of minty breath. "All of that . . . " she waved her hands mockingly. "Drivel about patriotism, secrecy, Napoleon . . . And this is the best story you can come up with?" She rose, setting her hands on those luscious hips. "Whatever you're up to, Mr. Dunn, I will not let it stand."
Then she marched towards the door.
Marcus grabbed her wrist. "Very well, I will tell you the truth."
Catherine froze mid-step, and looked down to where they joined, as if scandalized by his touch. "Unhand me!"
The skin beneath his fingers was so soft Marcus had to resist the urge to glide his thumb over the delicate flesh. "Stop being such a naysayer and I will tell you what you wish to know -"
"Release me, at once!" She tugged at her hand, obviously assuming that he would comply. But his grip only tightened.
"I don't want to hurt you -" he offered.
"Then don't!"
"Lower your voice, you needn't alarm the children."
At that, her struggle ceased.
Her pink lips set into a line and those gray eyes flashed icy fire. "You have until the count of ten to unhand me or I will scream."
"Like a game?" Oh, how he loved a challenge.
"I don't play with overgrown bullies," she bit out.
This was more fun than he'd had in months. "Very well."
Her face relaxed.
"One," he murmured, grazing the pad of his thumb over the baby-soft skin of her wrist.
She gasped.
"Two." His finger dipped into her palm and circled languidly.
Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly as if seeking air. She stared at her hand as if stunned speechless.
"Three." He traced the lines leading back to her wrist, and felt her pulse hammering. Satisfaction rushed through him and he smiled.
"Four." Leaning forward he set his lips to the delicate pulse and licked the silky flesh. Gently, he sucked, tasting salt and inhaling the subtle scent of lemons she wore.
Her breath hitched and her long lashes fluttered.
"Five."
