Lady Em’s Indiscretion A Naughty Little Novella Two years ago, Lady Emmeline cried off from her engagement to Viscount Denby, fearing he was a fortune hunter and would never be faithful. On her way to meet the family of the staid man she plans to marry, Denby waylays her. He takes Em off to a secluded garden folly, hoping that a night of passion will rekindle the love between them and convince her that they belong together. ~ Read an excerpt ~ Reviews ~ Buy Ebook: Kindle - Nook - iBooks - Kobo - Inktera

He brushed her nipple lightly with his thumb. Exquisite sensations shot through her, sensations she had not felt in two years. Her mouth went dry; the moisture all seemed to go there.

She gathered all her strength of will and pulled away. “Stop it!”

The desperation in her voice must have reached him, for he loosened his hold. She leapt up from his lap and turned to face him. “If you think such tricks will fool me again, I tell you they will not!”

He stared at her, stark yearning in his eyes. Or was it more acting?

“Then stay and talk to me. I shan’t touch you again unless you wish it. I promise!”

“How can I know you will keep your word?”

“If you will not trust me, trust your friends. The Westhavens would never forgive me if I caused you harm.”

“Perhaps they are mistaken in their trust. As I was.”

“Stay and listen to me. I can’t let you give yourself to Lamford. You need passion. You need love. You will be miserable with him.”

For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of a lark, twittering and carefree, somewhere high above them.

“Stay, Em. Tell me why you cried off. Tell me, so I can make it right.”

She knew she ought to run, but a perverse impulse kept her standing there. She ventured a glance at him; she saw the torment in his face. Had Georgiana been right? Perhaps there was some explanation. Or more lies. She would never know unless she confronted him.

She squared her shoulders. “Very well. I will tell you.”
