Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1015, October 2010, UK Edition:

'Are you hoping secretly that it's because I want to take you to bed?' he demanded.

'No!'

She was saying no, but the look in her eyes, the convulsive movement of her throat, the rise and fall of her chest betrayed her, so that suddenly Saul knew that against all the odds she shared the unwanted need that was driving him. There could be no other explanation for that wild, frantic, helpless look of mingled rage and longing in her eyes.

Saul had guessed how she felt and he was tormenting her, ready to humiliate her—again, Giselle decided, panicked into another fierce, 'No!' before adding for extra emphasis, 'You would be the last man I would want as my lover.'

That was enough—more than enough, Saul recognised, to breach the dam of his self-control. 'Liar,' he breathed against her lips as he took her in his arms. 'This is what you want, what we both want and need,' he told her.

Giselle was lost, helpless to protect herself, helpless to resist the torrential flood of her own desire-laden reaction to his words and to him.

In his arms her body melted, beneath his lips her own parted, and she clung to him as pliable and responsive, as eager to meet and match his every need as though she had indeed been formed from one of his own ribs and was thus part of him, owned by him, given over to him. Everything that was not of Saul ceased to matter. Everything other than her own need for him, which was now possessing her, driving her, consuming her.
