She’s searching for love.
He’s searching for anything other than love.
Somehow, they might just be each other’s best match.
For years Captain Anteros Bourbon—aka The Cobra—has eluded his father. He has dedicated his life to fighting the war against Napoleon by building his fleet of ships and sinking his enemy’s warships, although he hides a deadly secret. He is a lost Prince of Naples and Sicily, and now his father has found him and is demanding he marry and produce the required heir. Never will he take on a wife though, or expose her to his dangerous activities, so instead he devises a plan to make it appear to his father that he has wed. He enlists the aid of an English lady he trusts by asking her to speak false marriage vows with him. A winning plan for sure, one which should rid him of his father’s man spying on him.
Lady Olivia Trentbury has been infatuated with Anteros Bourbon since the first day she met him. He has aided her family in so many ways, and when he arrives on her doorstep asking if she’ll speak false marriage vows with him, she can’t turn him away. She takes all care when his father’s spy is near, although unfortunately the villain is intent on removing her from Anteros’s sight. The spy steals her away as his hostage aboard a ship bound for Sicily. Forced to survive treacherous waters as Anteros follows in hard pursuit, she discovers staying alive has never been more of a challenge.
Can Anteros capture his lady back before it’s too late?
Hi everyone, The Prince’s Bride is now here. This is a story about unending desire between two people who are destined to be together, but can’t seem to halt disaster from getting in their way. Come and cross the High Seas with Olivia and Anteros. They must battle a kidnapper, corsairs, and a king intent on reclaiming his lost son. I’ve included a tantalizing excerpt below.
Exclusive Excerpt:
Anteros crowded Olivia from behind, swept her hair over one shoulder and stuck his nose against the soft skin of her neck. Tiny pearl buttons ran down the length of her spine and with one hand on her gowned hip, he rubbed against her. She had such ripe curves. He nibbled on her earlobe, skimmed his hand around to her belly and caressed the smooth line of her middle.
“Anteros?” Sucking in a breath, she leaned back against him. “You make me feel things I’ve never felt with another man before.”
“Have you ever allowed a man to get this close to you?” He ran his tongue along the soft whorls of her ear.
“No, there have always been boundaries I’ve never crossed.” She tipped her head back against his shoulder, her eyes closing and golden eyelashes sweeping down onto her flushed cheeks.
“I haven’t taken a lover in over eighteen months.” He wasn’t sure why he’d just admitted that, other than that it seemed important she was aware.
“Not since before we met?” She lifted one hand and curled it around his neck, the upper swells of her breasts rising as she stretched onto her toes.
“Sì.” He’d forged a bond with her from the beginning, and even though they’d agreed to be friends and naught more, he’d still had the devil of a time trying to allow another woman’s touch. Of course, eager barmaids in taverns would wiggle their bottoms and jiggle their breasts at him, but he never took them up on their blatant offers.
“I kissed a man not long ago,” she blurted.
“Who?” Anger didn’t even begin to express the emotion which suddenly rose within him.
“I thought kissing would be magical, to share breath with another and for them to share theirs in return. Obviously, I kissed the wrong man.” She turned in his arms and searched his gaze. “Would you show me what kissing is truly meant to be like?”
“It would be best if I didn’t.” He hadn’t missed how she’d ignored his last question of whom she’d kissed, but perhaps it was best he didn’t know since that would only mean the night wouldn’t end for him without a manhunt underway.
“Please, Anteros, will you kiss me?” She licked her lips, wetting them in the most enticing way, her golden eyes shimmering all bright and beautiful, her hand on his chest closing over his medallion.
