EXCERPT

The bell rang for the dinner service and the gentleman that sat with him left. A few short minutes later, Ruby was shown to his table. She had changed into a periwinkle dress he'd never seen that fit the curves of her body almost too tightly, her bosom pushing over the top. Her hair was pulled back into a low bun. Had it been like that when they’d boarded the train? He couldn’t remember. She was a far cry from one of the ladies in her fashion magazines, but a step up from the country girl he'd grown up with.
"What are you wearing?" James frowned and glanced around. As he'd suspected, several young men had their eye on her ample chest.
"Jo leant it to me for our honeymoon. It's a little small, but she said I should have some new outfits to start my new life." Ruby narrowed her eyes. "And don't you dare laugh at me, James. Not like last time."
James resisted throwing a napkin at her to cover her chest. "What are you talking about?"
"The only other time I ever dressed up—how silly I realize it was now—you laughed at me."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
The flare in Ruby's eyes dimmed. "Of course not. I'm not sure you've ever really seen me, James. I've always just been a piece of furniture in your life. Something you can depend on but take for granted it will always be there."
"That's not fair, Ruby."
"I think it's perfectly fair."
Ruby plastered on a glittering smile when the waiter came by to take their orders and offer them champagne. Ruby guzzled hers and asked immediately for another, which she drank in two gulps.
"Slow down, Ruby. You don't want to make a fool of yourself."
"Ha!" Ruby said, and a few heads turned. "You've already made a fool of both of us."

EXCERPT:

Jack closed his eyes and took in a long slow breath. But his attempt to regain control failed. In a swift movement, his hands circled under Jo’s thighs and lifted her up, her legs wrapping around his waist.
One of his hands cupped her buttocks, holding her up, while his other sailed up her spine and over her neck. Their lips were a breath apart, and for a moment they stayed like that, breathing each other’s air.
Their heartbeats galloped together under the thin fabric of their clothes, and Jo didn’t know where hers stopped and his began. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she shivered at the temptation that was offered up in his sweet lips so close to hers. How quickly she forgot the inappropriateness of what their kisses had led to in the past. But her mind was a fog of want and desire, and propriety was as far off as the moon.

Her tongue flicked out, grazing his lip, and it was all the encouragement Jack needed. His mouth captured hers, firm and moist, and she sighed. Her tongue moved in an urgent rhythm against the velvety meal he offered up in his sweet mouth.
She felt him harden under his trousers, and Jo’s hands twitched, instinctively wanting to draw his desire out. Jack gripped her under her thighs and carried her across the barn, pressing her against the wall. Confidence lurched in Jo and she slid her legs down to stand.
She satisfied her twitching hands and placed them on top of the bulge that strained the fabric of his trousers. He groaned in her mouth, and the encouragement of his response thrust her desire forward.
