READ AN EXCERPT OF THE SCOT SAYS
I DO
Duncan glanced at Peter who had
dropped back down on the divan and covered his face with one arm. He was no use
to either of them at this point. Besides, this business was between himself…and
Catherine. He gently pressed her into the king’s chair, took one next to hers
and scooted it around until he faced her. “You and Peter have no home now.”
“Not even the Wilds?”
“Not even the stables.” He tried
to be as sympathetic as he could. This was difficult for her. Shattering. And
it would only get worse. “For you, things are not so bad. You’re a lovely girl.
You can marry well.” He ignored her snort. “But for Peter…” He let it hang
there like a razor sharp icicle clinging to a roofline as a melt approached.
“But Peter?”
“He has other debts.”
“Oh no.”
“Small ones, but substantial
enough for his creditors to ask for retribution.”
They both knew what that meant.
Debtors’ prison. A truly nasty end for a feckless lad. But Duncan had the
inclination to allow Peter to languish there—at least for a while—to teach the
boy a lesson.
“Newgate would kill him,”
Catherine whispered.
“It’s not all that bad.”
Her gaze snapped to him. “And how
do you know?”
He lifted a brow. He had no
intention of telling her that he’d visited and reprieved more than one foolish
friend.
“Poor Peter.”
“He did bring this on himself. He
gambles like a fiend.” A fiend who thinks he can never lose.
“Can’t you help him?”
Duncan swallowed an outraged
laugh. “I believe I already have.”
“I mean, help him more?”
“Buy out all his
debts? Return his wealth and property to him? Pat him on his head and charge
him to go forth and risk it all again? What kind of fool do you think I am?”
“A heartless one.” She stood and
whirled away, which gave him cause to follow.
But honestly, he was not the
heartless one here.
When she spun back, he was right
behind her and they were far too close. The tips of her breasts brushed against
his chest and he nearly swallowed his tongue. She flinched as well, as though
the touch had been like a bolt of lightning. She gazed up into his eyes, hers
wide and damp. Her lips parted and her pink tongue dabbed out to wet them and
his knees nearly failed him.
Damn she was so beautiful. So
glorious. He wanted to kiss her now, ravish her. Claim her. He wanted—
“I cannot bear the thought of
marrying one of my suitors,” she said, and he was brought back to the moment,
his intent, with a powerful lurch.
“There may be a solution.”
She tipped up her delicate chin
bravely. “And what might that be?”
So simple. So perfect.
“Marry me.”
Her jaw dropped and he fixated on
the sight of her open mouth. If that was not a demand for a kiss, he did not
know what was.
He pulled her into his arms,
reveling in the warmth, the curves of her slight form, and lowered his head.
She tasted like heaven. Sweet
bliss. Just like he remembered from that day when he’d pulled her from the loch
and forced her to breathe again. Her scent infused him, enamored him, enraged a
long-banked fire within him.
She would be his.
He would have her.
Finally.
Catherine Ross would be his
bride, just as he’d dreamed of for so many years. Just as he’d fought and
scrabbled and worked for. His life ambition had come to him and the moment was
so sublime…
Until she pulled away and stared
at him with an odd mixture of shock and fear limning her eyes.
And she hauled back her delicate fist.
And punched him in the jaw.
By the time he’d recovered from
the shock of what he could only interpret as her refusal of his suit, she’d
whirled away and flounced off to her chambers—God only knew where—in the bowels
of the enormous mansion.
But this was only the first salvo
in his campaign to win her.
And win her, he would.
