SPECIAL EXCERPT FROM
Meet one of four deliciously Dangerous Dukes in the first installment of Carole Mortimer’s new miniseries.
Read on for a taste of the
darkly seductive and irresistible
ZACHARY BLACK: DUKE OF DEBAUCHERY…
Zachary raised his head to look at her with mercurial grey eyes. There was a flush to the hardness of his cheeks and his dark hair was dishevelled. “I have forgotten nothing, Georgianna,” he assured huskily. “If anything, I find that edge of danger only makes you more intriguing.
Besides which, if you are a spy, then you are currently an imprisoned one. My imprisoned spy.” He smiled his satisfaction with that fact.
Georgianna drew her breath in sharply as she once again felt the soft pad of his thumb caress across the hardened tip of her breast.
“Perhaps that was my plan all along?” She tried to fight the sensations currently bombarding her senses: pleasure, arousal, heat. “Has it not occurred to you that maybe my plan is to stab you at the dinner table with a knife from your own ducal silver dinner service?” she persisted breathlessly even as she found it impossible not to arch once again into that marauding mouth as it continued to plunder the sensitive column of her throat.
“No.” Zachary smiled against the fluttering wildness of her pulse. He might have become slightly blasé these past few months, but he was nevertheless positive his self-defence skills were still as sharp. “Because I very much doubt you will find the opportunity. Or, if you did, that my strength would not far outweigh your own.”
“Then perhaps it is my intention to hide one of the knives and take it back upstairs with me, so that I can stab you later, while you sleep?” There was now an edge of desperation to Georgianna’s voice; she simply couldn’t allow this to continue.
Zachary deftly released the first button at the throat of her gown. “Then I will have to ensure that the door between our two bedchambers remains locked at night.”
“I do not believe you are taking me seriously.”
“When I am holding you in my arms and about to kiss you? No, you may be assured I am not taking your threats seriously at all, Georgianna,” he acknowledged gruffly.
“Zachary!”
“Georgianna,” he chided gently as he released the second button and revealed the top of the silky smooth skin above the swell of her breasts.
“I cannot… This is not—” She broke off abruptly as Zachary claimed her mouth with his and silenced her protest.
