Great news! I'm happy to show off a lovely new historical romance release by author Collette Cameron. Her historical voice is light, delightful and incredibly emotional and sensual. I just love her characters and I hope you will too!!
Here's the inside scoop on the book The Earl's Enticement!
Blurb:
She won’t be tamed.
A fiery, unconventional
Scot, Adaira Ferguson wears breeches, swears, and has no more desire to marry
than she does to follow society’s dictates of appropriate behavior. She trusts
no man with the secret she desperately protects.
He can’t forget.
Haunted by his past,
Roark, the Earl of Clarendon, rigidly adheres to propriety, holding himself and
those around him to the highest standards, no matter the cost. Betrayed once,
he’s guarded and leery of all women.
Mistaking Roark for a
known spy, Adaira imprisons him. Infuriated, he vows vengeance. Realizing her
error, she’s appalled and releases him, but he’s not satisfied with his
freedom. Roark is determined to transform Adaira from an ill-mannered hoyden to
a lady of refinement.
He succeeds only to
discover, he preferred the free-spirited Scottish lass who first captured his
heart.
Excerpt:
Smiling, a heart-wrenchingly sad smile,
she said flatly, “I’m quite used to being the source of gossip and disapproval.
One really does become immune after a while.”
Shoulders sagging, she dropped her gaze
to her hands, and fidgeted with a ribbon on her gown.
Like hell one did.
People erected barriers and defenses and
lived a lonely life of isolation. Or behaved outrageously, keeping the company
of those even more scandalous than themselves. Or they became bitter and
unfeeling, afraid to hope for anything better than the harsh hand they’d been
dealt. He couldn’t let that happen to his free-spirited Adaira.
Stifling an oath, Roark straightened his
shoulders. The infernal pounding in his head and throbbing in his nether
regions affected both his patience and his ability to focus.
“You’d prefer censure and ostracism?”
Adaira tilted her chin, meeting his eyes.
“I prefer them over being compelled to marry a man who doesn’t want me. You
have made it very clear you disapprove of everything about me. I’m not foolish
enough to mistake your lust for anything more than what it is, pure animalistic
drive.”
She gave him a cynical smile and shrugged
again. “You forget, my lord, I have a stallion that becomes crazed with the
need to copulate. He doesn’t give a rat’s whisker about the mare he’s mating.
She’s a means to an end. Humans are little better in my observation, at least
the males of the species.”
By God, she’d compared him to her rutting
stallion. Roark almost touched his jaw to make sure it wasn’t sagging open.
