Marrying Miss Monkton
Helen Dickson
Sir Charles Osbourne has made a promise against his better judgment.He will rescue one Miss Maria Monkton and deliver her to her betrothed—a man whose reputation he little cares for. Maria is taken aback when Charles strides toward her with the silent sureness of a wolf. Traveling alone with him is unsettling.And then it hits her: should she marry a man she doesn't know when she's falling in love with her rescuer—a man with no mind for marriage!
“Maria,” Charles teased, gently touching her cheek with the back of his hand. “You are blushing.”
“And I think you are quite mad.”
“My thoughts exactly,” he whispered, and, bending his head, he pressed his lips to her forehead, placing his hands around her upper arms and drawing her against his chest, holding her as if he knew she would struggle if he tried to do more than that. “When we set out on this journey, you were not in my plans, Maria.”
“Oh, please,” she implored helplessly. “I don’t know what you want of me.”
He took her chin between his thumb and forefinger and lifted it, forcing her to meet his steady gaze as he quietly said, “A kiss would not go amiss.”
“Nevertheless, I think you should proceed with caution.”
“A little kiss here and there is quite harmless.”
“A little kiss here and there is dangerous,” she countered, thoroughly convinced of that where he was concerned.
