Here's a tidbit from my soon to be released steamy regency romance called Wicked Designs (Samhain January 2014). Innocent but brave Emily Parr has learned just who has kidnapped her.
“Miss Parr, I’m not sure if you know
exactly who I am.”
Godric could have punched himself
for the flash of pain in her lovely eyes when she finally met his gaze.
“I know who you are. The Duke of
Essex. A veritable devil, or so the ladies say. You bring ruination upon a
woman with one look.”
“Just a look? I thought I had to at
least say a
lady’s name…” he chuckled, but she
did not laugh.
Watch my blog and facebook page for details on the upcoming release of Wicked Designs to find out what happens to Emily and the all too dangerous and charming Godric.

LOL!! "Just a look? I thought I at least had to say a lady's name." Love this line! A rake, perhaps, but a humorous one. Watch out!
