After two disastrous London seasons, Susanna Lorican received a
marriage proposal from a neighborhood friend, an esteemed Viscount, which saved
her family from society gossip. She had adored him since childhood but never
expected the man of her dreams to reciprocate the feelings. Susanna soon
planned the perfect Christmas Eve wedding but never expected a snowstorm to
barrel through the English countryside on the morning of the nuptials.
Viscount Camden Beckinworth had lived the life of a devil-may-care rake
until his parents’ premature death five years earlier. Returning home to save
the crumbling family business, he cast aside his personal life and buried
himself in his parents’ finances, focusing on nothing but honoring his family
name. Once he decided that it was time to take a wife, now that the business
thrived, he finally realized that the annoying little sister of his two best
childhood friends had grown into a lovely woman. Needing her by his side, he
pledged to take the headstrong miss as his wife.
Susanna and Camden vowed to let nothing thwart their long-awaited day,
even though icy roads delayed the dress and several guests. But when the
reverend fell from his horse and injured his head, they had little choice but
to postpone. To worsen matters, Susanna’s insufferable brother-in-law cornered
and then assaulted her in the library.
Despite their trials and tribulations, the young couple never wavered
from their goal: marriage and a long life together. After all, happily ever
after came only once in a lifetime.
Excerpt:
“I’m glad you chose winter—Christmas time.”
Camden gripped the loose braid of her chestnut hair. “Even though the timing
isn’t great, considering everything that has happened, it’s perfect for us.” He
gently grasped her chin and forced her face up. He brushed his lips across her
eyebrows. “I want to get married on the day that everything changed for me. On
the day I finally found the one woman I could love and cherish all my life. No
one is more important to me than you.” He suckled her pink lower lip between
his teeth. A soft moan escaped her throat.
He pulled back and stared deep into her eyes.
“You are so kind, love. I wish you realized that. Enjoy today, no matter what,
but if something else horrible happens and prohibits our union, God forbid, we
will marry as soon as possible.” He clenched his jaw against the idea of
waiting.
Susanna nodded. Emotional but intelligent,
she understood logic and common sense when she heard it. Sometimes, it just had
to be pounded into her.
Camden stroked a stray hair behind her ear
and lowered his mouth to hers. Air filled her lungs seconds before his mouth
clasped hers. His talented lips tasted and teased hers. A moan gurgled in the
back of her throat.
“Camden,” she gasped his name like a plea
once he finally pulled back for air. “The door is wide open and we are without
a chaperone.” She blinked several times to clear her clouded vision. She licked
her lips and nodded to the entryway. “Anyone could see.”
He smirked roguishly. “Let them. We are
betrothed. Two people in love, who are about to wed, are expected to kiss.”
“Kiss, yes,” she whispered. “You, my lord,
make love with your lips.” Susanna suddenly flamed scarlet. Her eyes widened
like saucers and the temperature in the room skyrocketed.
Camden laughed as his embarrassed fiancée
fumed. An arrogant grin spread across his face. “Do I? You have never admitted
that before.”
She scowled, her cheeks so hot she could
barely stand it. “Well, there are some things you shouldn’t be privy to.”
His smirk lengthened. “Really? I am honored
that my bride appreciates the way I kiss. If she didn’t, what kind of man would
that make me?”
