“I would like to make a bargain with you,” he said.

Jane’s eyes widened and then understanding dawned. Followed swiftly by appalled anger. She folded her arms across her chest for the second time that night. Nicholas doubted she realized how the action lifted her breasts ever so slightly and drew his attention to the luscious swell.

“How dare you, sir! I am not that kind of woman. I may be fallen, but I have never in my life considered taking money or help in exchange for-”

Nicholas held up a hand to stop the stream of words.

“Not that kind of offer sweet,” he interrupted with a grin, although her misunderstanding of his intentions conjured a swift, unbidden thought of this woman spread across his bed, her dark hair with its ruddy highlights down around her and her back arched in offering of those perfect breasts she kept trying to hide. “I don’t pay for that, not with blunt or assistance. No, I want something else from you.”

Her eyes narrowed and Nicholas found himself looking at her face closely. Even in the dim light, he could see her eyes were very dark, like pure chocolate. And they reflected the depth of her emotions. No pretense here, no pretended offense. Jane Fenton truly did not trust him.

Clever girl.

Jenna Petersen has a new book, Her Notorious Viscount coming out at the end of this month and we thought it would be extra cool if we could have some early excerpts to tease us until the release date AND we’re happy to report that Jenna was kind enough to share some excerpts with us.

Check it out:

He rose to his feet and stepped toward her. Instinctively she turned away, but before she could bolt the butler returned inside and quietly closed the door behind him, leaving her at the utter mercy of this stranger.

Jane recognized, in that moment, that she was entirely out of her league.

“Well, well, my dear,” Stoneworth drawled. “You are not what I was expecting at all.”

“Yes, sir,” she said on a forced breath. “I am sorry that I did not give your butler my name. I feared you would not see me if you knew who I was.”

The corner of Stoneworth’s lips lifted, but it made more of a snarl than a smile. “And who are you?”

Jane lifted her gaze to his, startled. “Oh, yes. I apologize. My name is Jane Fenton.”

“No, not your name. Who are you?” He tilted his head. “I don’t think we’ve met before. Although you do look… familiar somehow.”

She nodded, thinking of the brief way he had looked at her earlier in the evening. Trying not to think of the shameful thrill his meaningless perusal had given her. Now he didn’t even recall her face.

I love it already. Jenna P sure is a tease, don’t you think? Stay tuned for some more Her Notorious Viscount goodness and also, mark your calendars, Jenna P herself will be back here at Book Binge discussing her new release and her heroes on April 1st. It’s gonna be a good time, be here or miss out!
