Excerpt
From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #930, December 2009, UK Edition:
Elena wanted to back away, but it was impossible. All she could do was watch in fatal fascination as his face got closer and closer. Study the intent in his beautiful grey eyes framed by decadently thick lashes. Observe that his breathing got just that little bit faster. And his lips--his beautiful moulded lips--were opening the merest fraction.
There was not a thing she could do but await her fate. But at the time she ordered herself not to respond, not to let him see by the simplest of movements that pressure was building up inside her, threatening to spill over the second his mouth claimed hers.
Was it disappointment she felt when he didn't kiss her straight away? When he cupped her face in his hands, his thumbs stroking her expectant lips, his touch so gentle it was like the brush of a butterfly's wing and yet as deadly as snake's venom?
Elena couldn't keep her promise to herself. Her resolve flew out the window, her lips parting freely, the tip of her tongue coming out to moisten her lips and encourage Vidal's touch, her head rocking back on her shoulders. It was wrong, all wrong, but somehow she couldn't help it.
