Hi Everyone! Thanks, Maxine for having
me here today.
My
recently released book, The Baron’s
Betrayal, is the fourth book in my Marriage
Mart Mayhem series. This is the story of Marion, one of the Duke of
Manchester’s sisters.
I
have read stories before where a man who is assume dead returns, most times
just as his wife is about to marry someone else. But when I plotted this story,
I wondered what would happen if the man did return, but his wife has no other
romantic interest? Suppose he had purposely
hidden himself from her, didn’t want to stay married? He thought he had a good
reason, but would she?
That is the basis for The Baron’s
Betrayal.
It's been two years since Lady Marion
Tunstall lost her husband at sea. Two years of sorrow and grief. Only now has
the young, comely widow finally re-entered society. It isn't until she and her
family attend the merriment of a country dance that Lady Marion sees her dead
husband, alive and well...and faints dead away.
Lord Tristan Tunstall has no choice but
to confess—he is alive, yes, but not a whole man who can be a husband and
father. When he offers her a divorce, however, Marion stubbornly refuses.
Now she has forced herself back into his life, and into his home and (oh, God
forgive his weakness) his bed. He cannot stop himself from wanting her. Loving
her. But can he live with the secret she is keeping from him?
Excerpt:
“My lord.”
He rose, his mouth working as he tried
desperately to respond, but the huge lump wedged in his throat kept him from
answering. The muscles in his neck continued to tighten, and he turned his head
away from her voice, fearful she would see his tears. “Marion.” Her name came
out raspy, somewhere between a groan and a plea.
Then, almost knocked off his feet by her
enthusiastic embrace, he inhaled her smell, her softness, her love. Holding his
arms out to his sides, he quickly surrendered to his desires and encircled her
slim body. For one precious moment he imagined her always being here in his
arms. His palms slid upward, his fingers tangling in the silkiness of her hair.
He leaned his cheek against her head and moaned with longing.
Then the reality of his situation reared
its ugly head, and he grasped her shoulders, setting her from him. “Please, Marion.
This is not a good idea.”
“Don’t b-b-be ridiculous. I l-l-love
you.”
Her words were like a knife to his
heart. But he steeled himself, knowing he was doing the right thing.
