A most delicious challenge…
Experience has taught Emily Shaw that men are best avoided,
so she’s determined to take her place in society alone and unrestrained by marriage.
Renting a room in the heart of London, she establishes a Women’s League to
promote equality between the sexes and teach women to be independent.
Jasper St. David isn’t looking for distractions, but he’s
fascinated by beautiful, fiercely opinionated Emily when she moves into the
office above his. And when he learns of her determination never to succumb to
male charms, he can’t help but see it as a challenge! After all, Jasper’s
always found nothing more tantalizing than the thrill of the chase...

Undone By His Kiss
Excerpt 1
She was a beauty, no doubt. All fluster, indignation and
tempting female. Her nose tipped up at the end and the fitting observation
caused him to smile. Miss Shaw struck him as a female who turned her nose up on
a great many things.
He was an easygoing sort. Why he’d become obsessed with a
stranger who appeared as relaxed as a wasp’s nest proved baffling. He had more
important subjects to consider and the distraction of a lovely female was the
last thing he desired, never mind he’d had trouble chasing her memory from his
thoughts all day. Still, she fascinated him for some illogical reason. He’d
watched her mouth form every word, captivated by her lips, perfectly
heart-shaped, plump and kissable, and instead of comprehending her message, he
wondered of the taste of her kiss, the feel of tongue.
Terribly done of him, really. Miss Shaw appeared less than
interested. Her back had been rigid, her shoulders squared, yet she really was
all soft skin and feminine curves.
Excerpt 2
His mouth found hers with uncompromised precision, lost in
the glory of her adamant return. Her fingers slid through the hair at his
temples, locking him to her in an expression of eager participation that made
his heart pound and his cock ache. She tasted like a dream, an ambrosial
combination of feminine sweetness and forbidden fruit, the freedom he yearned for
and the divine fantasy he’d conjured, united in the hot slick rub of her tongue
against his, the petal-soft press of her mouth against his jaw, his chin, his
cheek. She rasped some delicious little noise, a murmur in the back of her
throat, an entreaty for him to pleasure her, and he supplicated with fervor,
dragging his mouth across her cheekbone to find the delicate shell of her ear
where he whispered all the wicked thoughts kept buried in his heart.
She stilled. Perhaps he’d revealed too much, offended her
refined gentility. His pulse hammered, while he waited, his breath hard and
fast. Then her lips found his, her tongue next with a timid caress of his lower
lip, licking, tasting his mouth to continue their kiss until all thought became
impossible, obliterated by the thrum of passion and urgency and need. He
pressed her against the velvet bolster, his shirt against her dress little
barrier to the soft skin she hid beneath. Her fingers twined in the braces at
his shoulders, as if lifelines to anchor her, the threat of their passion
enough to sweep them away.
He wanted to strip her bare, discover every inch from neck
to navel, to tell her she’d answered the silent prayer he hadn’t known lived in
his soul. To drive into her delicate honey-sweet sex and make her his alone. He
fought the desire with all the strength he owned.
