confided. “I love you and would be honored to be your wife in soul, body and name. I only hope you still want me. Heaven only knows you have had the patience of God waiting on the devil to become a saint.”
A gruff laugh escaped him. “Apparently it paid off.” His fingers slid down to her chin and then to her throat, following its curve. “May I never wake knowing you are forever mine.” His brown eyes intently searched hers. He leaned in, the heat of his breath feathering the skin across the bridge of her nose.
She angled her lips toward his and covered his full warm mouth with hers, shifting their bodies against the floor and the wall.
He deepened their kiss until her soul melted.
She relaxed in the safety and comfort of those muscled arms and drifted away from all that had been. One day, she knew, one day, Nathaniel would find his way back home. Perhaps it would take forever and a day, but she had faith in that boy. She had faith that he would find a way.
And in the meantime, she knew that as long as she had her dear Leonard, happiness would always be hers to not only kiss but hold.
What happened to Nathaniel? From the slums of New York to the noble estates of London, the mystery unravels in Delilah Marvelle’s The Rumor Series , coming soon from HQN Books:
Forever and a Day
(January 2012)
Forever a Lady
(August 2012)
Promise Me Forever
(January 2013)
And don’t miss The Scandal Series by Delilah Marvelle, available now from HQN Books:
Prelude to a Scandal
Once Upon a Scandal
The Perfect Scandal
Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her first historical romance (which was a heart-stopping 800 pages long…) at the age of fourteen. She is a two time Golden Heart finalist, a Reviewer’s Best First Historical Romance nominee, and a double Bookseller’s Best Award finalist.
