The Midnight Rake (2015)
“Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas? Is something wrong? You need to eat.”
It would be impossible to convince his mother he wasn’t hungry. He was always hungry, so he skewered a thick piece of ham on his plate in an attempt to take interest in the fare, while his mind spun with images of what he’d like to do with the delectable temptation seated across the table. Chef Pierre would never be able to replicate such a mouth-watering delicacy. He’d best tuck the thoughts away, as there would be no opportunity t...o steal a private moment with Penelope this morning, or anytime else.
Since their chance meeting in the garden two nights past, they’d schooled their emotions and acknowledged their relationship as one of friendship, nothing more. At least they both resolved to give that appearance.

This morning she wore a simple yellow day gown with light green embroidery circling the white lace collar. Her hair hung in silky waves around her shoulders, except where she’d captured a sweep behind one dainty ear.MoreLess
