Six Sentence Sunday #11: Engaging the Enemy

Engaging the Enemy is flying off the virtual shelves this week and I’m sharing a snippet from chapter three when Leopold and Mercy meet. Enjoy!

* * *

  Leopold was very good at reading the lies people tried to hide. Her wide-eyed innocent questioning caused a flutter in his chest. She wasn’t lying in any way. She honestly hadn’t known of his existence before today. No wonder she had been wary of him. The thought settled in his stomach like a rock. If she had not known of him then it stood to reason that she may not even know the whereabouts of his family.

Anna shuddered. “A child in London is quite out of the question. How could you consider it? What if he should stumble into your private chambers while you were entertaining a friend?” Anna smiled wickedly. “I can think of no faster way to cool a man’s ardor than to have a child thrust into a room with him. I’m told it is quite draining.”

Six Sentence Sunday #9: Engaging the Enemy

I’m getting ready for the release of my next novel, Engaging the Enemy, and wanted to share a snippet from chapter one.

* * *

      Leopold spooned food into his mouth mechanically, offering a smile to the shy innkeeper’s wife as she added fresh rolls to the table. But his mind was on the frustrating question of where his family had been taken and, more importantly, what kind of life they were living now that the old duke was dead. Despite his promises, there was always the danger that Romsey had lied from the start and disposed of them ten years ago. He shook his head. He could not think too much about that possibility. That way led to the same panic he’d experienced a decade ago when he’d discovered Oliver had disappeared overnight.

The old floorboards creaked behind her. “Now that was a fascinating evening.”

Mary sat up with a start and glanced about her chamber as an expensively dressed lord, the Earl of Lichfield, stepped through her bedchamber door and shut it with a firm click.

“However,” he continued, “that last conversation with Lady Jasmine brought the puzzle of your infrequent sightings within my means of solving. Bakewell is a self-righteous prig.”

“Oh, it’s you.”

Victor skirted the room, never letting the captivating woman out of his sight. When he could see her face in profile, and recognized the beauty, he swore and took a pace forward.

A hand closed hard on his arm.

Victor turned to face the proprietor. “A private room, and that woman in it for a private show. I’ll pay any price you ask.”

Bad luck, the ton said, ran in his family. Unfortunately, the fathers of heiresses believed that to be the case, too, and spread the word among themselves to keep their daughters at a distance from him.

Simon pressed his best hat tighter on his head, then kicked a stone with the scuffed toe of his boot as he stumbled along Bond Street toward his current home—a place far from the spacious townhouse he’d previously occupied. A walnut and ivory writing desk and two large trunks, that he’d brought back from his grand tour, were all that remained of his previous life as a gentleman of distinguished society. Life at Cavello House—a place that sounded a lot grander than it really was—was simple. It kept the weather off him, and that was as far as he dared hope these days.
