Yes, she's a lady ~ Excerpt from 'A Code of Wonder'
“Stop.” The man stood at the top of the stairs. He at least had the decency to put his breeches on though sans a shirt. “This is ridiculous. Come back. We’ll talk.” He tried to sound reasonable, but Eliza saw the way his hands were fisted at his side, his strained neck, and clenched jaw.
“Are you insane? So you can ravish me?” Eliza ran down the stairs.
“I wasn’t going to ravish you. My God, this melodrama. I give you my word as a gentleman, I’ve never harmed a woman. And never taken a woman against her will. Bloody hell, I saved you.”
“A gentleman would never talk to a lady in such a manner.”
“You’re a lady?”
Eliza gasped. He had the nerve to call her out—a “gentleman” who was willing to ravish an innocent woman. After all her mother’s attempt to shape her daughters to be ladies and redeem the family name after the scandal that caused them to be shunned from society, she was now the one to bring complete ruin to her family.
That was the worst thing he could have said.

Snow Fun ~ Excerpt from 'Mission: Impossible to Wed'
Gabe closed Lauren’s mittened hand in his as they climbed the slippery hill. The valley was blanketed in snow. The air was crisp, the sky bright blue, and everything around them was cocooned in white silence except for the sound of the snow crunching under their feet.
Tucked into a green stocking cap was Lauren’s glorious blond hair—hair that he dreamed about draping across his body. Her sea-glass green eyes sparkled like the glistening snow.
He pulled their sled behind them. He had a choice of a one- or two-person sled. Not rocket science after last night’s incendiary kisses. He had no intention of keeping his distance. He could have been sainted for his restraint after Lauren initiated the kiss with the bed nearby and her soft, hot body calling to him.

Quite an Adventure ~ Excerpt from 'A Code of Wonder'
“You’ve had quite an adventure for a country miss.”
She squeezed Derrick’s immense arm and looked into his familiar comforting eyes. “Will there be a scandal? I just couldn’t bear to bring any more pain to my mother. She’s suffered badly after our banishment in the country… all because of the cruelty of my father.”
“No. Wessex is a gentleman. He can be trusted to reveal nothing.”
“And I won’t be forced to marry him? Won’t I be ruined if anyone finds out about Lord Wessex undressing me?”
Derrick paused on the landing.
“Did more happen between you and Wessex…? Did he…?”
To hear the brave man, viewed as invincible, stammer, made her smile for the first time in a while. The blush spreading across his cheeks was so out of character.
“Only that he kissed me.” She tried to sound nonchalant as if being kissed by a virile and handsome naked man was a routine occurrence in her life. “I can’t fault his desire since I believe any man near a naked woman might attempt liberties. And he did explain that he was only trying to wake me.” She would never forget how tenderly he’d treated her. The way he’d cupped her face between his big rough hands. His lips had been soft and warm, causing heady and unfamiliar sensations.

Combustible Together ~ Excerpt from 'Mission: Impossible to Wed'
“We’ve got off-the-charts chemistry. But it’s the wrong place and wrong time.” He stared at her lips, stirring a hunger in her to taste him.
How could she feel like this and it not be the right time? It felt like the perfect time to her.
She pressed her lips to his soft full ones. She ran her tongue along his lower lip. She felt the catch in his breath before he pulled her into his arms, wrapping her against his hardness.
Expecting he would be demanding by the tension in his body and his labored breathing, she was surprised by his slow and tender exploration, nibbling on her lower lip and then licking where he bit. Mesmerized by his gentleness, she melted against him. She drifted in the sensation, her hands clenched in his T-shirt, her knees wobbly. Lost in kissing Gabe, she didn’t know how much time passed. By the time Gabe finally pulled back, her legs were buckling, and she wanted to get naked with him.
“I guess that answers all our questions. It’s exactly what I thought. We are damn combustible together.”
