How like Kevin to be indifferent to the perfectly legal possibilities those investors might present. She would explain it to him eventually.
Their first kiss made her heady and so grateful for the warmth and love encompassing her.
The power of her arousal awed her. “It has not been very long, but I . . .”
“I know. Me too. No games or lessons this time. I want to hold you in my arms and against my heart.”
No words either, except those of devotion spoken again and again while they reclaimed each other within a loving union.
Don’t miss the next Duke’s Heiress Romance
from Madeline Hunter . . .
THE HEIRESS BRIDE
As the new Duke of Hollinburgh, Nicholas Radnor is handsome, titled, charming, and land poor. The last quality might change soon, because a portion of his uncle’s personal estate is about to become available to him and his cantankerous extended family. At the eleventh hour, however, Iris Barrington, the last of the three mysterious women to whom the last duke made substantial bequests, inconveniently turns up on Nicholas’s doorstep. He finds her story suspicious and her history ambiguous, and her person both flamboyant and . . . fascinating. Duty calls, however, and he needs to discover if she is indeed the heiress his uncle favored, or a charlatan with secrets that can endanger them both.
Complete independence has allowed Iris Barrington to become an unusual woman. A rare book dealer, she travels the world and has a sophisticated life. She also has a taste for handsome men, of which Nicholas is one.
Too bad he is also very curious about her, and his attentions are suspicious as well as amorous. Since she has secrets he must never know, she should probably keep him at arm’s length, but his seductive skills make that hard to do, no matter her resolve . . .
