I’m happy to announce the release of my new Regency Suspense novel, Once Again Caroline.
Blurb:
Fellow spies or fated lovers? The ton is shocked when Colonel Lord Hunt Wymon and Caroline Wirt seem to take up where they left off ten years before. Can this pair find love again as evil lurks around them? Can Hunt save Caroline from a murderous madman before it’s too late?
Excerpt:
A low fire burned on the hearth. The library was large, filled with books and buried in shadows at the moment.
“What are you doing?” Caroline asked. She sounded breathless.
Hunt brought out his tinderbox and lit a small branch of candles on the mantel. “Finding a place where we can talk privately, Caroline. I’d say my room is hardly proper. Or don’t you agree?”
“Wh—what do you want to talk about?”
Hunt watched another rosy tide wash over her face, leaving tell-tale flags of red. “That.” He pointed to her cheeks. “You blush every time you look at me, Caroline, and there’s no need. If you’re feeling guilty for crying off our betrothal, that was years ago and quite forgotten. You can’t think I minded much. Oh, my pride was hurt, I suppose, but not many days passed before I realized you were right—we never would have suited. Truth is, I’ve thanked you again and again for my freedom. I’ve had a very good time these past few years.”
Hunt held her eyes while he uttered these lies, listening to his implacable tones, trying to guess what Caroline was thinking as she tipped her head back and silently, intently probed his gaze. She was pale. Was she relieved?
Caroline felt a great void open inside her. From some secret place, she released all the memories she had of them laughing together. She felt a great relief, then a wave of sadness. It was ridiculous, but she felt rather unhappy, relinquishing those long-ago dreams.
For years she’d wondered if she hadn’t been the greatest fool alive when she let Hunt go. Now it seemed that she’d been right all along. His words had just confirmed her decision. Her mistake had been agreeing to marry him in the first place. As she’d suspected so long ago, Hunt hadn’t really loved her . . .
