Olivia, too, has a past she’d like to escape. By purchasing her very own
Mayfair townhouse, she’ll be able to start a new life independent
from all men. There’s one problem: she needs a powerful man’s
name to do so. The Viscount St. Alban is the perfect name.

But is once enough? Sometimes once only stokes the flame of desire higher
and hotter. And sometimes once is all the heart needs to risk all and
follow a mad passion wherever it may lead.

An image of
tonight’s hostess came to mind. Of her surface . . . Her eyes fluttering shut,
lashes dark against her pale skin, parted lips reaching up, up, up . . . And
her depths . . . The quality that made him want to forget his place, his
purpose, himself, and dip his head and claim those lips until they were
satisfied, sated. As if a mere kiss could accomplish satisfaction and satiety
between them.
A soft swish of
skirts whispered behind him, and a voice sounded in his ear. “Does it
disappoint? Disappointment can leave one feeling decidedly unfulfilled.”
Jake looked
right, and the room fell away. There she stood, throwing that word at him
again. Disappointment. The idea
that he’d disappointed her had gnawed at him since yesterday. And now she was
throwing another word into the mix.Unfulfilled.
While he had no
desire to leave this woman disappointed, he certainly didn’t want to leave her
unfulfilled. In fact, under a different set of circumstances for their
acquaintance, he wouldn’t walk away from this woman until she was thoroughly .
. . exhaustively . . . fulfilled, satisfied, sated . . .
Sofie spent much of her twenties raising two boys and reading every book
she could get her hands on. Once she realized that she was no longer
satisfied with simply reading the books she loved, that she must
write them, too, she decided to finish her degree and embark on a
writing career. Mr. Darling and the boys gave her their wholehearted blessing.

When she’s not writing heroes who make her swoon, she runs a marathon in
a different state every year, visits crumbling medieval castles
whenever she gets a chance, and enjoys a slightly codependent
relationship with her beagle, Bosco.
