Excerpt

They faced each other on the bed. Her nails scraped over his chest, thick with muscle and a matting of dark hair. His powerful neck and biceps tensed when she touched those areas. She raked her nails through his thick, wavy hair, kissed and sucked along his neck and shoulders, rubbed her hands over the broad slope of his back down to his tight butt. With ravenous hands and mouths, they explored what their eyes couldn’t see. Hard abs rippled under her fingers, but he froze to marble when she slid her fingers around his long, thrusting shaft.

He rolled over her, kissing and rubbing against her with his big hands and long body. His mouth, a hot cavern of desire, trailed a fiery path at her neck, shoulders, and finally closed over a nipple already peaked from his questing attentions. Moisture built between her legs. His deft fingers found her heat. When he slid between her legs, she felt the hard tip of his shaft at her entrance and panicked. Pushing back toward the headboard, she pressed her palms against his chest. “Wait. Stop. Please, wait.”

Brian froze at her command. His muscled arms pulsed like overstrained ripcord under her fingers. This was madness. They’d lost control, and she had no one to blame but herself. They’d taken things too fast and too far. This isn’t how she wanted her first joining to happen.

“Angel?” He pushed her shoulders against the pillows and rose above her while disentangling their lower bodies. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Angel listen to me, lass.”

When he fully rolled away from her, goose bumps coursed over her body from the loss of his heat. Frustrated and confused by the powerful pull of his body, his hands, his heat, she buried her face in her hands.

“You’re right, lass.” His words came in short pants. “We must stop and take a breath—consider our actions.”

Blog Tour ~ The Laird of Blackloch, Highland Rogue #2, by Amy Rose Bennett



The Laird of Blackloch
Highland Rogue Series
by Amy Rose Bennett

The Laird of Blackloch, Book 2 in the Highland Rogue Series by Amy Rose Bennett, is due for release with Harlequin’s Escape Publishing on the 12th March 2018!



Revenge might be sweet, but love is far sweeter ...

Following the Battle of Culloden, Alexander MacIvor returns to his ancestral home, Blackloch Castle, only to find the Earl of Tay, chief of the rival Clan Campbell, has laid waste to everything he holds dear. In the face of such devastation, Alex seems doomed to live the life of a fugitive Jacobite ... until a stroke of good luck allows him to escape the Highlands and begin again.

Years later, styling himself as a wealthy Englishman, Alexander reclaims his forfeited estate, becoming the new Laird of Blackloch. But it’s not nearly enough to quench his thirst for vengeance. Hell-bent on destroying Lord Tay, he single-mindedly sets about driving his nemesis to bankruptcy. When he learns the earl intends to marry the very beautiful English heiress, Miss Sarah Lambert, thus escaping penury, he devises a devious plan: kidnap Miss Lambert and ransom her to hasten Tay’s ruin.

When Sarah Lambert learns Lord Tay is not the man she thought he was during a masquerade ball in Edinburgh, she is devastated. Reeling from her discovery, things go from bad to worse when a mysterious yet charming guest by the name of Alexander Black turns out to be a true devil in disguise. Abducted and whisked way into the wild Highlands by Black, Sarah is imprisoned in a remote, island-bound tower. Refusing to be a pawn in Black’s diabolical plan for revenge, she determines that somehow, some way, she will regain her freedom. If only she could unlock Black’s secrets ...

Living in such close quarters, Alexander quickly discovers the spirited Sarah is more than a match for him, and even the best laid plans can go awry when passion flares and the spark of love threatens to revive his long-dead heart. When the shadows of the past begin to gather, will Alexander and Sarah find their way forward ... or will the threatening darkness destroy them both?

highland-pursuits-a-scottish-romance-by-emmanuelle-de-maupassant

Emmanuelle de Maupassant is thrilled to announce the launch of her saucy 1920s romance romp: Highland Pursuits.

In celebration, Emmanuelle is not only offering three signed paperback copies, via Goodreads here, but has her entire catalogue on sale for 99c/99p from March 1st-8th: Baby Love, Scarlet, Cautionary Tales and Gentlemen's Club (as recommended by Stylist Magazine)



1920s debutante Lady Ophelia Finchingfield is banished to wildest Scotland to come to her senses, having refused a proposal from the Earl of Woldershire. In the care of her eccentric grandmother, Ophelia is soon caught between rugged widower Hamish and the villainous Comte de Montefiore.

She’s ready to play with fire, but will she burn more than her fingers?

As a comedy of manners, this is exceptionally well done. ~ Fionna Guillaume

Emmanuelle sends enormous thanks to her editor, Adrea Kore, for her help in bringing Highland Pursuits into the world. She says: ‘Adrea is an incredibly talented writer, and a wonderful friend. Her editing skills helped bring the words alive. She is a marvel and I'm so glad that one day, forever ago, we found each other.’

Highland Pursuits draws inspiration from a short story of the same title Emmanuelle wrote originally for the charity fundraising anthology Because Beards: all proceeds have been given to the Movember Foundation.

This longer, novella, length offers more scope to explore the wonderful characters' eye-popping shenanigans. Hamish and Ophelia were in Emmanuelle’s dreams for many weeks, as she wrote this story.
