Second Chance Marquess by Jessica Jefferson
GENRE: Historical Romance
When Wilhemina Turner’s younger
sister runs off with a young Lothario, she has no choice but to turn to the
notorious rake who broke his promise and her heart, for assistance. George
Bartlett, the Marquess of Chesterton, hasn’t forgotten the woman who hurt him
so many years ago, but can’t deny her request, knowing that his brother’s
reputation, and fortune, is at risk. A series of misfortunes leave the
straight-laced widow and committed bachelor stranded, sharing both close
quarters and old secrets. But when morning comes, will this unlikely pair find
a second chance at love?
Excerpt:
“Fine.”
He looked away first, turning his attention back to the items he’d collected
upon his desk. “If you want to join me, then you may.”
She
squared her shoulders and stood a bit straighter having won their duel of wills.
“Good.”
Without
another word or a single glance, Chesterton left the room.
Not
one to be left behind, Wilhelmina hurried after him, through the study and up
the stairs.
“Where
are we going?” she asked once they’d reached the top, breathless from the burst
of activity.
He
strode down the corridor, seemingly unaffected by the brisk climb. “To my
bedroom.”
She
immediately stopped. “Your bedroom? Why ever would we go in there?”
Chesterton
turned back to her, one sardonic eyebrow arched high. “To change,” he answered.
“You didn’t expect me to head out in this, did you?” He turned and continued
toward the room, looking back at her before entering. “Are you coming?” he
asked, voice smooth as warm chocolate.
This
wasn’t the first time she’d been lured into George’s bedroom. He’d been an
earl, the courtesy title bestowed upon him at birth, but more than that, he’d
been a gentleman. Apparently, he’d lost that when he’d inherited the
Marquisate. His bedroom was no longer an inviting sanctuary, and this invitation
was not one of love as it had once been, but a lewd proposition, tenderness
replaced by cruelty, as he watched expectantly for her reaction.
“I
don’t think that’ll be necessary,” she stuttered, trying in vain to remain calm
and collected as he started to untie the sash about his waist holding his robe
closed. He let it fall to the ground and the robe opened, revealing his chest
and torso in all its naked glory.
And
it was indeed glorious.
She
quickly averted her glance, whipping her head around and staring attentively at
the painting on the wall.
“Is
something the matter, Mrs. Turner?”
She
was not about to play this game. She didn’t have the time, and he didn’t
deserve the enjoyment it would undoubtedly bring him to see her suffer so. And
most importantly, she couldn’t play because she knew good and well that she had
no chance of winning.
