“Scarlett?” Constance questioned, the tray in her hands. “I’m okay. Just a bit stiff.” Constance put the tray on the table. “Would you rather take a walk? Would that help?” “No. I’m sure I just need to stretch my limbs here for a minute.” Constance glanced at the clock. “Why don’t we ring for the…

“I’m fine,” Scarlett promised, smiling up at him with a mix of radiance and what he assumed had to be bone-weary exhaustion. She looked unharmed, but there was a lot of her he couldn’t see under all those blankets. “Meet your son.” Her smile widened as she lifted the small, blanketed bundle. He sat on…

Her tongue danced with mine, and she groaned softly when I sucked it into my mouth. We weren’t just well-matched in bed, we were combustible, constantly catching fire for the other. For the first time in my life, I knew I was never going to get enough. This was something incapable of burnout. “Noah,” she…

I’m never going to get enough of you.” “More.” He obliged. My toes curled as I whimpered, and I lifted my…

“It was nice to meet you both, but we’re going to go now,” Jameson said, tipping his hat. “If that’s a boy, he can be my heir,” Nigel blurted. Every muscle in Jameson’s body tensed, preparing for the fight. “If our baby is a boy, he’s our son,” he said. “He’s not your anything,” Scarlett…

But if she came clean-resigned her commission-what would she be then? “What would I do all day?” Scarlett asked, her fingers tracing the raised lines of the rank on her shoulder. “For the last two years I’ve had direction.
