Excerpt
“Does anything scare you, Maribeth?”
He sauntered behind her and peeled the
coat off her shoulders. His left hand brushed hers as he tugged on one of the
fitted sleeves. She held her breath, attuned in every way to his presence; his
heady scent, the sound of his soft breathing, his body heat radiating on her
back. She wanted…
She truly could not say. Her experiences
with men outside her family circle were limited. But she had witnessed Edith
with her husband in unguarded moments when they thought no one was looking. Did
she wish Arthur would press his lips on her nape or steal a kiss?
Maybe.
“I have nothing to fear from the ghost
of Madame Brown,” she said, turning to gaze up at him. But his nearness and the
way he purred her name in that seductive baritone was more than a little
unsettling. Ghosts rarely gave cause to be feared. But a handsome man who
consumed her with every look…
He folded her coat and placed it on the
end of the bed.
“I’ll settle in here later,” she said,
clearing her throat. “What was the little girl’s name?”
“Ah, ah, ah.” He shook his head. “I’m
afraid you must discover that on your own.”
Her eyes narrowed. “A test of my skills?
I could simply inquire with Mrs. Hawkins.”
“But you won’t. I sense your pride
doesn’t permit you to travel the easy route.” He smirked.
Bastard.
Of course his observation was dead on. She
dearly loved a challenge.
