Kiss the Wallflower Paperback Bundle (Paperback)

I told myself I could stomach it. That seeing her across the ballroom, laughing at another man’s quip, accepting his arm for the next set, wouldn’t affect me. That I didn’t care who looked at her or touched her. But it was a lie. One I could no longer cling to.

Louise had been in London for a month, and in that time, I'd done what I always did—kept my distance, buried myself in vice and distraction. I thought I could live with the consequences of what I’d done. Of how I’d wronged her. But watching her now, radiant and confident, desired, I realized I might’ve made the biggest mistake of my life.

And the worst part? She wasn’t mine. Not really. Not the way I wanted her to be.

“Enjoying yourself with Lord Stopford’s paws all over you? Or maybe I should ask how long you’ve been shagging him. You’ve been in London a month now, plenty of time to have a gentleman of the ton warm your bed.”

She smiled up at him and he cursed. When the hell had she become so alluring? Had he been blind all the times he’d stood with the duke and duchess? He supposed he had been. His fixation had been on Lady Scarboro and the pretty little debutante Lady Clara, whom he liked to play and tease. Not that he would have ever married her, but it was amusing and a pleasant way to pass the time.

This woman in his arms, his wife, was punishment for all his wrongdoings. God was punishing him for being a cad.

You are a cad and you deserve everything you get.

He dismissed the voice, pinning her with his gaze. “Answer me.”

“I have to have someone to warm my bed. My husband has made it abundantly clear that he will not.”

He shut his mouth with a snap, pulling her close as they turned within the waltz. The music was loud in his ears and his nape pricked with awareness that all eyes were upon them. Watching and wondering what they were discussing.

If only they knew…

“You better tease, madam.” His voice vibrated with temper that he did not recognize within himself. What did he care who his wife flirted with? He should not. He was not emotionally involved with this woman. Their union was a mistake. One of his making. To be so territorial with her was confounding and he growled.

“If you ventured to live with your wife, you would know. I cannot be expected to be alone for the rest of my life. I must carve out my own little bit of happiness if you shall not supply it for me.”

He shook his head, pulling her closer. “You said that I should expect nothing from you. Are you a liar as well as an unfaithful wench?”

His words broke through the defensive wall a little and her eyes flared, anger making the deep blue of her irises like a fathomless, swirling sea. “I was angry and upset when I said that. You ruined me in front of the whole ton and then demanded marriage as if I should be grateful. Of course I said what I did. Anyone would.”

The feel of her in his arms, all womanly curves, pulled at a part of him who longed for a woman in his bed. No matter what the ton may think, he’d not taken a woman into his bed since the night he’d walked into Miss Grant’s room.

Lady Scarboro had of course tried, and failed. He was certain her ladyship was the sole reason he was married at all and he’d never take her into his bed again.

So what the hell was he going to do? Take Louise into his bed, which inevitably led to children. A family. No matter how careful one was, if a child was meant to be, it would happen.

Damn it all to hell. It wasn’t to be borne.
