He stroked his fingers across her cheek until he held her head in both hands. “You kissed me when you left me, if you recall.” “A mistake,” she said unsteadily. She’d known that even at the time. How she wished she’d let him go on his way that afternoon. How she wished she’d followed her instincts and never taken the Duke of Kylemore as her lover at all. Ever since she’d met him, a voice inside her had insisted he and only he could break through the protective shell that was Soraya. But calamitously, she’d ignored the shrill warning from her instincts. As his mistress, she’d endured a year armouring herself against the empathy she’d always felt for him. An empathy which was absurd. A Cyprian and a duke of the realm could have nothing in common.
This month we welcome another talented Australian author to our favourites list! Having devoured an advance copy of Anna Campbell’s Claiming the Courtesan we can attest to the talents of this delightful writer. The Duke of Kylemore knows her as Soraya, London's most celebrated courtesan. Men fight duels to spend an hour in her company and only he comes close to taming her. Flying in the face of society, he decides to make her his bride; then, she vanishes, seemingly into thin air.
Dire circumstances have forced Verity Ashton to barter her innocence and change her name for the sake of her family. But Kylemore destroys her plans for a respectable life when he discovers her safe haven. He kidnaps her, sweeping her away to his hunting lodge in Scotland, where he vows to bend her to his will.
There he seduces her anew. Verity spends night after night with him in his bed and though she still dreams of escape and independence, she knows she can never flee the unexpected, unwelcome love for the proud, powerful lover who claims her both body and soul. |
