Passion never dies.

Lady Alyse Braedon frets over her renewed passion for Sir Geoffrey
Longford, her first love. They have pledged their hearts to one another,
despite the fact that both are recently widowed. Alyse worries that she has not
properly mourned Thomas and cannot think herself as true wife to Geoffrey until
she puts her feelings for her first husband to rest.

And then Thomas unaccountably appears in her bedroom. She is stunned
and confused. When he begins to make love to her, however, she joyfully surrenders
herself to his familiar caresses and expert ministrations…until Geoffrey
arrives.

Faced with the dilemma of wanting two lovers, Alyse simply cannot
choose–until Thomas suggests she doesn’t have to.  Instead he and Geoffrey will share her. The
scandalous proposition awakens new hungers within her. Can she allow herself to
abandon all she’s been taught a proper woman should resist, and find pleasure
with both her beloveds?

Excerpt: 

                     “Alyse.”

            The familiar voice
tugged at the edges of wakefulness. Had Geoffrey returned so soon? The sound
did not have his deep tone. Yet ’twas a voice she knew well, rich and sensual.

            “Do not fret, sweet.
’Twill be all right.”

            Alyse struggled to
open her eyes, though the heavy lids fought against her.

            The bed dipped as
someone sat beside her. . Good. Thank the Lord. Geoffrey had returned. Although
she would swear it had not been he who had spoken.

A soft hand cupped her face, and she pressed her cheek against it,
luxuriating in its warmth. She smiled and her eyes fluttered open at last.

            The man seated on the
bed had shoulder-length honey-blond hair and warm, beguiling brown eyes. He
also defied fashion and wore a thin mustache and beard. His eyes brightened
when he noticed she was awake and his mouth turned up in the lazy smile she had
come to know so very well.

            “Thomas.” The name
came out a croak. Holy Father, had she conjured him with her guilt and longing?
She shrank back into the pillows.

            His smile widened and
he caressed her, running one long finger along her jaw. “Aye, sweet Alyse. ’Tis
I. Do you feel better now, my love?”

            “Better?” She must be
dying to see such an apparition. Or mayhap she was already dead and in heaven.

            “Aye. You do not
shiver as you did a moment ago. I hoped that meant you felt warmer.” He picked
up her hand and kissed the knuckles.

            Warmth flowed through
her, soothing her, making her body tingle with that single touch of his lips.

            “Is it really you?”
Strength welled within her and she struggled to sit up.

            “As ever I was.” He
smiled, his gaze sweeping down her body. His eyes darkened with the desire she
remembered well.

            “Oh, Thomas.” She
threw her arms around him, sighing when they embraced the hard-muscled chest
she had lain upon so often. “I thought you dead, my love. Did I but dream?”

            “Shhh, my sweet. I am
here now.” He stroked her head then pulled it back to peer into her face. “I
will always be with you, love.” He sank his mouth onto hers, and she melted at
the touch of his insistent lips.

            Like coming home.
