EXERPT 1
“Miss Overton,
wake up.”
She started
awake, her body trembling. It had thankfully all been a dream. As her eyes focused
on his face, however, her relief dissolved. Heart hammering against her chest,
Ally pushed him away and scooted to the far end of the bed. Gathering her
skirts around her, careful not to give him a glimpse of anything he shouldn’t
be seeing, she hugged her knees to her chest in an attempt to ward off the
chill that ran through her. Sweat trickled down her back.
“What are you
doing?” Her voice came out in a gasp.
With his lips
compressed into a straight line, he sighed and lowered himself to sit on the edge
of the bed. The man wore no cravat and didn’t even bother to button his shirt
all the way up. “You were having a bad dream.”
“It was probably
because you were in it!” She blurted that before she thought any better of it.
His too-thick
brows rose in a maddening manner. “You dreamt of me?”
Ally snapped her
mouth shut and glared at him. He looked so amused; she wanted to shove him off
the side of the bed.
He merely
chuckled. “Famous! The only time a woman has dreams of me, I’m the fiend.”
“Ogre.”
He grinned.
“Ogre it is.”
Ally couldn’t
take her eyes off him. His mouth turned sensual, and his eyes danced with mirth;
it made him look like a rascal. Heavens, he was beautiful when he smiled, this
wicked man. It was unfair.
“You may stop
frowning at me and go back to sleep. I have no interest in bedding the likes of
you, I assure you.”
