TEACUPS AND TEMPTATIONS
Molly
Merriwether readily accepts an invitation to Waverly Hall, eager for adventure
and amusement with her best friend. She never expected to be left unchaperoned
with three intriguing young gentlemen for weeks.
Roger
Bailey, recuperating in more ways than one, avoids Molly until her kindness and
humor tempt him to deepen their acquaintance.
Molly
lands in one unlikely escapade after the next with Roger and soon considers him
a friend—perhaps more—but the barriers he puts up make it impossible to truly
know him. Has she only imagined those tender looks in his eyes?
For
a chance at love, Molly will need to bare her innermost self and trust someone
more deeply than she’s ever dreamed possible.
Excerpt One:
“Not having
chaperones has made it all the more interesting.” Molly glanced outside, where
the men stood in a circle talking.
“Auntie’s going
to be so upset when she finds out,” Caroline said.
“Perhaps she
never will.”
Caroline
clicked her tongue. “Of course she will. She’ll tell our parents.”
“Then we’d
better enjoy ourselves while we still can.”
About to sip
her juice, Caroline set the glass down. “I know that look, Molly. What are you
planning?”
“Oh, I just
thought we might have a poke around while the gentlemen are otherwise
occupied.”
Outside, the
men had set out across the field toward the kennels.
“We’ve done
enough poking around,” Caroline said. “We’ll probably get lost again.”
“No. We’ve done
enough poking around that we won’t get lost. And there’s that arched door we
saw in the east wing other day.”
“It’s most
likely a broom closet.”
Molly rose,
leaving her napkin on the table. “It’s in the corner of an empty room on the
third floor.
And with such
an elaborate door? There were vines engraved on it.”
“The room
wasn’t empty—it looked like an old sewing room. I’m sure it’s nothing of
interest.”
“We won’t know
until we look.”
“You’re doing
this no matter what I say, aren’t you?” Caroline asked.
“You don’t have
to come.” Molly gave her an angelic smile as she backed toward the door.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Kate grew up in a woodsy New England town where summer days at the lake seemed to last forever. She read her first historical romance at age eleven when a teacher challenged her to find a book in the library written by an author she’d never heard of. Thus began a life-long love of love stories.
After graduating from college she settled in the Pacific Northwest, where she currently resides with her family.
Kate wrote her first romance when she was sixteen, then set her pen down for years until another story floated into her head out of the clear blue sky. She jotted it down, just for fun, but soon it took on a life of its own.
