Happy Sunday, everyone!
I'm sharing yet another snippet from A Tempest of Passion as I'm not ready to share any from my current WIP just yet.
I'm continuing in the same scene. Emily is non too pleased William is there, but things could change... What can I say, I'm a sucker for a beautiful smile :)
Enjoy!

Abruptly, he turned away, a small smile playing on his lips as if he knew something she ignored.
Emily shifted in her seat, searching for words to dismiss the unpleasant man.
“Your parents…?” he asked.
“Have gone for a walk,” she responded mechanically. “It is their routine at this hour. I shall tell them you have called.”
“Please do. Though, it is you I have come to see. After I found you unconscious on the terrace and brought you back inside, I lost sight of you and wanted to see how you were faring.”
He smiled at her, a brilliant, earnest smile that had her taking back her thoughts on his appearance.

A Tempest of Passion
|
|
Emily
Bunsbury is most definitely not a fainter. She prefers to leave that
sort of shenanigans to young debutants and to those desperate to land a
husband. She is neither.
Except last night she passed
out and was rescued by none other than the town’s most eligible
bachelor: William Dalton. Of course, she wants nothing to do with him,
but her heart and body don’t seem to be in agreement…
Banished
from his pack for a crime he did not commit, William Dalton does not
have the desire or the time to court women, yet, when he meets Emily
Bunsbury he is incapable of staying away. Certain that it is nothing
more than a passing fancy and not the mating pull, he pursues her.
However,
as the unknown threat that expelled him from his pack strikes again,
William realizes that Emily means much more and he must keep her safe.
Now, if only she’d agree to his terms…
As
danger grows with each passing day, will the couple learn to trust each
other or will their love be nothing more than a temporary tempest of
passion?
