Countess Curvy: A Curvy Girl's Earl
Audrey Mills is in London to organize a charity fashion event,
where she meets Duncan Collins, the Earl of Thronhill. Confident in her curves,
Audrey doesn't expect Duncan to want more than a holiday fling. But when things
begin to heat up, will she panic and run?
VP of Development, Sabrina McKenna, has worked hard to get where
she is with Gideon Hotels. When Gideon Marquez asks her to attend several
important business functions, Sabrina agrees. It's only after 2 months of these
functions that she realizes they've been dating. And she's fallen hard for her
boss. Can Gideon convince her what he feels for her is forever? Or will
Sabrina's insecurities make her flee?
Eliza Lyons isn't interested in Craig Grant's attentions beyond
the platonic. He's a playboy and boy does she know better. They lunch, they
gossip, he tells her things about her current dates she doesn't want to hear
and she thinks he'll never outgrow his playboy ways. Then Craig lays down the
gauntlet and informs her he intends to show her what a real seduction is.
EXCERPT:
Countess Curvy: A Curvy Girl’s Earl:
“That was cruel, Ms. Mills,” Thornhill stated. His
eyes twinkled with amusement, and a slow smile spread over his lips. “You’d
curse me to an evening of inane conversation, followed by inappropriate
groping?”
“You don’t strike me as a man to shun inappropriate
groping,” Audrey added with a smile of her own.
“Well…not from the right woman.” He pushed off the
wall, all coiled grace and sex.
Audrey studied him for a long moment. Suddenly
their conversation had turned from a game of fun flirting to more. Much more.
She came to the astonishing conclusion that this shockingly handsome tall drink
of deliciousness was actually into her. She could feel her eyes widen as she
looked up at him.
“Come now, Ms. Mills.” Thornhill took a step
closer, his gaze steady on hers. “I can’t believe you aren’t pursued every
waking moment.”
“I must admit while I’m used to the delivery man or
the odd photographer appreciating my curvaceous figure,” Audrey was surprised
her voice held steady. “You are my very first…earl.”
“It’s good to be first.” His smile was slow and
suggestive, and it took Audrey more than one moment to look away from his lips.
What would they feel like against hers? What did he taste like? She licked her
own lips at the thought, and then regretted it when his eyes followed the move.
Maybe not regret, not if the rush of heat through
her was any indication. No definitely not regret.
“So, what do you say?” Thornhill asked, his voice
low, a caress over her bare skin. “Will you rescind your rejection and
accompany me to dinner tonight?”
A million things went through Audrey’s
mind—everything from Is he joking? to Can I really do this? It would be such a
fantasy to enjoy this man, to joke with him, to kiss him. To have him. Audrey
had never really fallen headlong into the self-esteem chubby girl trap, but she
still knew full well that this type of pairing never happened. Never.
She tore her gaze from his mouth, a small, thin
voice telling her that wondering what he tasted like was the last damn thing
she should be wondering. “Between two evils, I always pick the one I’ve never
tried before.” The Mae West quote raced through her mind, and she heard herself
saying, “I suppose it would nice to experience London with a native.”
