Some men are born
responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry Charles
Albert Edgar Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all
responsibility dumped in his regal lap.
He’s not handling it
well.
Hoping to force her grandson to rise to
the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the
Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American
television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:
Welcome to Matched:
Royal Edition.
A reality TV dating
game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered
in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only
one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.
While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy
antics of the contestants as they fight, literally,
for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the
voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.
The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle
Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength,
her kind spirit…and her naughty sense of humor.
But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and
irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.
As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old
words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty,
Honor and most of all—Love.
TRAILER:
EXCERPT
Sarah
stands up and presses her lips against mine. And it’s so unexpected, so
surprising—I freeze up. But only for a moment. As her mouth gently moves over
mine, I begin to thaw. She’s so fucking soft, her taste so very sweet. The kiss
is almost chaste—at least it’s the most chaste I’ve ever had. Unpracticed.
And yet, it still manages to make my
heart pound against my ribs like an animal in a cage.
“What are you doing?” I whisper,
when she pulls back just a little.
“I’m distracting you.” She looks up
at me uncertainly. From behind those ridiculously prim little glasses with
those big, dark eyes that could bring me to my knees. “Is it working?”
My tongue traces my lower lip,
craving more of her.
“I’m not sure. Keep trying—I’ll let
you know.”
She smiles quick and relieved . . .
and then she reaches back up, wraps her arms about my neck, and kisses me.
Her two lips envelop my lower one,
then the upper, all eager, pleasing sweetness. My hands find Sarah’s lower back
and I pull her in close, tight against me. Slowly, I open my mouth and she
mirrors my movement, opening for me. And it’s good. So very, very good.
It’s like my blood has turned to
gasoline, and the touch of her wet, warm tongue is the spark.
I delve deeper, kiss her harder—more
demanding—taking the lead. I cup her head in my hands, holding her still while
I plunge and devour. A moan seeps from her lips and I devour that too.
But then, breathing harshly, I tear
my mouth away.
“Sarah, maybe we shouldn’t. Maybe we
should just—”
“I’m sick of being afraid, Henry.
And I’m so tired of being alive . . . but not really living. I’ve wanted this for
a long time. I want . . . you.” It’s only then that hesitation dims her eyes.
“Do you want me too?”
I grip her arms. “More than I’ve
wanted anything or anyone in my entire life.”
She takes my hands in hers, lifts
them and presses my palms to her breasts. They’re soft and full and absolutely
perfect.
“Show me.”
Beneath her robe, her bedclothes are
paper thin. I trace my thumbs across her nipples, feeling them harden and peak.
I want to suck on them until she’s mindless. I want to lick every inch of her
skin and watch her flush with desire.
I wrap my arms around Sarah and lift
her right off her feet. With a groan, my mouth is back to hers. Her small
pretty hands cup my jaw as I carry her toward the bed. I stop against a wall on
the way, knocking a frame sideways, lifting her leg in one hand and wrapping it
around my hip so I can thrust against her.
There’s so much I know—deviant,
filthy, lovely moves. And I want to teach her every damn one.
