Kissed
by Tanya Anne Crosby
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Swept from the
aristocracy of England
to The Colonies on the eve of war, Jessamine Stone vows to wed no man but her
onetime fiancé, Christian Haukinge. She sets out to win back Christian’s
affections, unaware that her brother has already offered him a bribe to break
her heart.
Driven by
something dark, Christian agrees to the devil’s bargain, but soon finds
Jessie’s innocent passion, trust, and faith undermine his resolve for
vengeance. Now only the woman he has betrayed can heal his deep and scarring
wounds. But these are dangerous times and love alone cannot mend all wounds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
.
England, Rose
Park, April 1763
What
sort of man paid to have his sister’s heart broken?
Lord
Christian Haukinge tossed the parchment aside, and reclined deeper into the
leather desk chair, contemplating the inconceivable notion.
He
didn’t bother considering the issue it raised: What sort of man accepted such a
proposal? He already knew the answer to that one.
The
scribbled letter before him bore no salutation—a deliberate rudeness, a
flagrant omission of his title—courtesy though it may be—and his demeanor, as
he retrieved the parchment, shifted from indifference to keen irritation. His
gaze skimmed the page once more, settling upon the last paragraphs.

as she seems to have convinced herself no other beau will do, save you, fatuous
as it seems, and she has set her face against the new contract I have put
before her, clinging to your annulled betrothal simply to defy my wishes, I am
forced to offer this proposal. Please consider the above remuneration for your
services; the amount is more than adequate for your brief employ, and, indeed, should
prove quite useful in the refurbishment of your newly purchased estate. As to
that, please accept my condolences.
I
am certain you shall wish to begin with all due haste, and look forward to your
timely response in this matter. The sooner she has been suitably disillusioned,
the sooner you might be compensated for your troubles. For the greater good, I
do hope we might overlook the nature of our past relationship, and endeavor to
assist each other in persuading my dear, misguided sister in choosing the
right-minded course. The advance will assure you see it my way. Accept it in
good faith. I shall enlighten you further when we are face-to-face.
Signed
simply, Westmoor.
For
the greater good?
Bloody
b—d.
