BLURB:
A practical marriage…
He married for
convenience, but William of Anglesea had hoped for more than piety from his new
bride. Raised in a convent and thrice widowed, prim Lady Alice of Tarnwych
seems like an innocent when it comes to the marriage bed—except for the
tentative passion he senses in her touch, and sees in her eyes. It seems the
bold knight has a new challenge in alluring Alice. But will seducing his
intriguing wife lead to his downfall?
An inconvenient
desire…
Everything about
charming, free-spirited William defies the cloistered world Lady Alice comes
from. Duty brings her to their bed—and a long-held hope for a child. Yet after
three indifferent husbands, the desire William shows her awakens her own.
Little did Alice expect the powerful feelings he would inspire, emotions that
make her ready to abandon her rigid beliefs, and the only family she’s ever
known—when William’s life is on the line….
Excerpt
Thank God, the fire had taken the worst of the chill. Alice
had left plenty of space on the other side of the bed, and he climbed up beside
her.
A soft noise escaped her, and she went even more rigid.
Dear God, give him patience. Even his large conceit felt
dented. He lay on his side, propping his head on his hand. She had a neat
profile with a slight upward tilt at the end of her nose. Pale, thick lashes
fluttered as she stared upwards. Not a pretty face, but her pleasant features
bore a faerie- like charm. A gleaming, thick braid lay against the white
pillow.
William took the braid between his thumb and forefinger.
Glorious, rich copper and the weight of the braid in his hand told him of its
length and thickness. The ends curled around the tie holding it confined.
“Your hair is red.”
“Aye.” The delicate line of her jaw hardened. “And very
lovely, it would seem.”
“Red hair is the devil’s hair,” she said.
The vehemence of her statement startled him. William knew
many women who would lay down theirlives for such beauty. “I beg your pardon.”
She growled and, finally, looked at him. The anger on her face left him wrong
footed. “Red hair is the mark of a foul temper. Foul temper is the
playground of the devil.”
God’s Bones, who had he married? So meek and silent beside
him at dinner, cold as death lying in wait for him in their bed, and now
glaring at him as if he were a hound of hell. “I think it is beautiful.”
She rolled her eyes on a huff. “My lord, there is no need
for pretty words betwixt us. I am neither beautiful nor charming, but I am your
wife. As such, we will lie together for the purpose of begetting a child. Can
we please get to that part?”
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Born British and raised in South Africa, Sarah Hegger
suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust. Her match? A Canadian engineer,
whose marriage proposal she accepted six short weeks after they first met.
Together they’ve made homes in seven different cities across three different
continents (and back again once or twice). If only it made her multilingual,
but the best she can manage is idiosyncratic English, fluent Afrikaans,
conversant Russian, pigeon Portuguese, even worse Zulu and enough French to get
herself into trouble. Mimicking her globetrotting adventures, Sarah’s career
path began as a gainfully employed actress, drifted into public relations,
settled a moment in advertising, and eventually took root in the fertile soil
of her first love, writing. She also moonlights as a wife and mother. She
currently lives in Colorado with her teenage daughters, two Golden Retrievers
and aforementioned husband. Part footloose buccaneer, part quixotic observer of
life, Sarah’s restless heart is most content when reading or writing
