Teaser Tuesday Snippets


Welcome to Teaser Tuesday. Each Tuesday, I will post a snippet of a book from my personal bookshelf. Some books may be fiction. Some may be on the craft of writing. Here's today's selection.

"Let me up!"

"No, I don't think so," Richard said matter-of-factly. "I rather like you in this position. It definitely brings to my attention that there are--other ways to scare you away...and it keeps your teeth off of me."

She struggled underneath him so earnestly, she soon wore herself out. He only laughed at her efforts because she couldn't budge him, couldn't even reach back to claw him because he was holding her wrists to the bed as well.

Here's the Blurb:



Thrilled that her solicitors have finally freed her from a detested marriage contract to the Earl of Manford's son who abandoned her years ago, heiress Julia Miller is eager to husband hunt at her friend Georgina Malory's ball. Charmed by a masked Frenchman and his magical kiss, she can't help but pursue this mysterious man--until she makes a shocking discovery. The enticing and carefree "Jean Paul" is merely a persona for Richard Allen who fled England and his controlling father years ago, took to the high seas, and joined a band of treasure-hunting Caribbean pirates!

Now, to avoid falling into a ruthless nobleman's trap, Julia must enter unto a risky, intimate charade with a man she was once bound to wed but never believed she could love. With a little help from the lucky-in-live Malory family, will Richard and Julia discover in each other that perfect someone?

Do you have this one on your bookshelf?
