The ultimate temptation!

Dr. Blake Sanderson, mentally scarred after the Napoleonic Wars and determined to dedicate himself to the sick, never imagines he will wed or have a family until his friend Peter asks him to become the guardian of his step-sister Arabella. Blake recalls her as a small child. The raven-haired eighteen-year old beauty he is presented with turns his entire life upside down. For as all of the most eligible bachelors in London and Somerset pursue the lovely Arabella, Blake realizes that he has fallen in love with the one woman society and convention forbid him to have.

Arabella meets handsome Dr. Sanderson at the site of a tragic accident. He’s a gentleman after her own heart, dedicated to the poor, and passionate under his rigidly controlled exterior. When she discovers Blake has been appointed as her guardian, she is embarrassed at the torrid passion that seems to spark off every time they are near one another and devastated to realize no other man fills her with such longing. As their friends parade beau after beau in front of her, Arabella becomes certain Blake is the only man she can ever respect, esteem and desire enough to marry. Can she convince Blake their love is meant to be before their ruthless enemies tear them apart forever?

 

God, it was so cold. Only a bit further, please. I need to keep them
safe….

Blake replayed the kiss he had shared with Belle hours
before. It had been honey-sweet, and made him forget for a
moment even his own terrible past.

He could taste dew, smell freshly mown grass, feel the glorious sunshine
upon his face, the warmth penetrating his bones, his soul… A new life.

Spring was the season, flowers, bees, pollen, everything fresh and new,
like her skin, her hair….

Unbound, flowing over Blake’s bare body like a river as it cascaded
down her shoulders, covering her voluptuous breasts, which peeped through
the raven tresses.

It was a stark contrast, the pink, white and black. She was cradling
his head against her, one nipple sliding unerringly into his mouth to nurture
him, fill him with longing….

He could hear the shouts, the sound of running feet, the flinging open
of the coach doors. He felt a little hand upon his shoulder, a delicate
caress of his face.

“Come, Blake, it’s over now. You’re safe. We’re safe. I’ll look after
you.”

Then he was moving, sliding downwards, stumbling, his arms around her
shoulders…

Her bare shoulders, so creamy and soft, her slender throat.

He kissed them all, then her rosy lips as his legs moved over hers.
He moved inside the warm circle of her arms, her body, and the sun blazed
anew in all its glory, blinding him with its brilliance as she shimmered
all around him, hot, wet, loving, a taste of heaven on earth as he poured
out all his pent-up yearnings into her…
