Not long after, as one last test, she rolled so that he covered her with his body for the first time while they were joined. She waited for the old emotions to rise, prepared to battle them, fully aware of her vulnerability beneath his strength and size. She discovered her heart was too full to allow anything to dull her love and joy.

She held him to her heart while he moved in her. His words of love entered her head and touched her essence. At the height of their abandon he paused, heroically, and looked down with love and passion in his eyes. “Will you honor me by being my wife, Minerva?”

Of course, my love. “Yes.”

Don’t miss the next Duke’s Heiress romance
from the New York Times bestselling author
Madeline Hunter . . .

HEIRESS IN RED SILK

Kevin Radnor is angry that his late uncle, the Duke of Hollinburgh, bequeathed half of Kevin’s invention and company to a total stranger—a woman no one in the family knows. When he meets his new partner he is surprised to find she is an attractive, bright-eyed, desirable young woman. A milliner, of all things.
What was the late duke thinking? Kevin swallows his ire and befriends Miss Jameson, hoping to convince her to accept the role of a very silent partner. If she resists his arguments that she should accede to whatever he wants to do with his enterprise, perhaps kisses and caresses can convince her to see reason . . .

Rosamund Jameson is shocked to discover she is an heiress, but fully intends to make good use of her new fortune. Her plans are to establish her sister’s future, to expand her millinery business, to better herself so maybe an old lover will marry her, and—oh, yes—to involve herself fully in this business she now owns with Kevin Radnor. She wants to make sure this handsome, charismatic man who has more vision than practicality does not ruin her. She intends to keep it all business with Kevin, too, which proves much more difficult when she discovers that his many areas of brilliance and expertise include sensuality and seduction.
