The Next Best Bride (2011)
“So. It was done. The experience had been nothing at all like it had been with William, which should not have surprised her.
The earl was a renowned rake. William, the cad, was a mere shadow lover compared to Rand Mallon, who seemed to live for his next amusement, be it at cards, on the back of a fast horse, or in bed. There was no good reason for her be unsettled by the fact that she had almost forgotten herself in his arms.
Almost, but not quite. Still, the fear that had made her hesitant was ...gone, finally. She didn't even remember now what she had been so afraid of. Perhaps it had not been the intimacy of their bodies, but of their hearts. That was the danger in marrying a rake, she knew. Apparently even a rake who had made plain that he wished no part of love.
How effortless it would be to confuse the uncomplicated physical intimacy he had shared with her for something deeper and more lasting. Such as love. She knew she would fall in love with him too easily. She was half in love with him already, and had been since his reckless, laughing courtship of Rosaline had begun.MoreLess
