Warrior's Grace
Blurb:
In Victorian England, a wealthy businessman and a governess with a dangerous past must reveal their darkest secrets or risk losing everything.
When wealthy businessman Max Barnes takes in two orphans to rear as his own, he has no idea that the governess he hires to care for them will change his life.
Grace Martin has spent years protecting her country. Now she's ready for a quiet, normal life as governess to a pair of young orphans. What she doesn't count on is the children's charming father stealing her heart and a vengeful assassin from her past targeting her through Max and his children.
Max and Grace must reveal their darkest secrets or risk losing everything.
Note: This book contains references to sexual abuse, child
abuse, and mental health issues in a historical setting. It also has some
sensual scenes and some violence.
Excerpt:
“All right.” Max smacked his hands together. “Hide and seek it is.”
Sam looked a bit worried. “Who’s it?”
“I will be,” Jane said. “Shall I count to one hundred?”
“I can’t count that high,” Sam said.
“It doesn’t matter, fool. I’m counting. Not you.”
“Jane, we don’t call others names.”
“Sorry, Miss Martin.”
“Close your eyes and start counting,” Max ordered.
Sam dashed out of the room, practically falling over his own feet.
“Slow down, Sam, or you’ll break your neck before the game even starts,” Max called.
He and Grace swept out of the library and split up. Max glanced over his shoulder at Grace who lifted her skirts and hurried off.
“Twenty-one. Twenty-two. Twenty-three.” Jane’s voice carried from the library.
Max turned and jogged after Grace. He glanced in the parlor just as she ducked behind the folds of the long, green velvet drapes.
Grinning, he strode into the room and joined her, their bodies pressed close behind the curtain.
“What are you doing?” Grace demanded.
“Hiding.”
“Find your own place, sir. This one is already taken.”
“But there’s room for two.” He slid an arm around her and covered her mouth with a kiss.
Grace chuckled softly and melted against him.
“How will we explain this to Jane when she finds us?” Grace whispered against his lips.
“I hadn’t thought of that. One more kiss and I’ll do the gentlemanly thing and leave.”
“Mr. Barnes!”
“Last
night I was Max. Can I have another kiss or not?”
