Lord Braybrook’s Penniless Bride
“A faint splash from the river told him a trout had risen. The air fizzed gently. Alive. Glowing. He felt part of it as he never had before. As though heaven and earth had contracted to the space occupied by their bodies and infused them.
Something nameless within him had broken loose.
His arms tightened, and she wriggled against him with a sigh, sending shards of rekindling desire splintering soul deep. Whatever it was that had got loose shook again. The other night she had given him he...r innocence. Today, here on the river bank, she had given him herself.
Neither of which gifts he deserved. Could they start again? Could they have the marriage he had always intended for himself? True, she had not brought any money to the match, but she was intelligent, caring. She was interested in the estates and his people. Now their misunderstandings were largely behind them, surely they could create a solid, rational union.
A wry voice suggested the passion unleashed between them had nothing to do with rationality.MoreLess
