HOW
THE EARL
ENTICES Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 Anna Harrington
“You
are not a gentleman.” Her words were so soft that they were nearly lost beneath the rain pounding against the roof.
“You are despicable.”
She
held her breath and stood her ground, waiting for him to unleash his fury on
her. It was what Vincent would have done. Just like her brother-in-law, would
this stranger have enjoyed hurting her?
But
instead of a harsh warning—or making good on his threat to tie her up—he forced
a tight smile and turned back to mutter into the fire, “So much more than you
know.”
He was
quickly lost in his own thoughts, but Grace knew he was still aware of her and
every move she made. If she attempted to run, he would pounce before she
reached the door.
Entering
her bedroom, she hesitated in the doorway. Part of her contemplated defying him
and closing the door anyway. Would serve him right! But something in her gut
told her not to press him. So far he’d kept true
to his word and not attempted to hurt her, and the last thing she should do was
provoke his anger. The night was half over now; by dawn the storm would be
weakening, and then he’d be gone. She only had to wait him out.
Even
knowing that, though, her fingers trembled as she shrugged out of the wet coat,
then reached for her dress and undergarments in her dresser. The room was dark,
and the shadows hid her from view, yet she took repeated glances over her shoulder
to make certain he still kept his
distance, still standing at the fireplace with his eyes focused on the flames.
After
she’d changed into her dress and wrapped a shawl securely around her shoulders,
she blew out a deep, silent breath of relief. Both at finally being properly dressed and that the stranger hadn’t
moved from where she’d left him.
Her
hands fumbled with putting up her damp hair as she emerged from the bedroom,
with two hairpins between her lips. Grudgingly, she mumbled around them, “Thank
you for not—”
He
glanced up from the fire as she stepped from the shadows, his face fully
visible in the firelight.
She
halted in mid-step, her breath catching in her throat at the intensity of his
stare as it trailed slowly over her. Not lasciviously, not predaciously—she’d expected that. Instead, he
gazed at her in an assessing manner, a look filled with such deliberate
aloofness that she couldn’t help but see the arrogant reserve beneath, the cool
detachment…
At that
moment, a long-forgotten memory rushed over her like a tidal wave. She placed
him in her mind, as clearly as the moment she first saw him over ten years
earlier at that crowded ball in London,
and she shuddered.
Ross
Carlisle, Viscount Mooreland, heir to the Earl of Spalding…
Dear
God—so much worse than a stranger!
