Synopsis
My resurrection, they call it.
They have no bloody idea.
Shipwrecked and lost, left for dead,
Abandoned by my own family.
Drugged and addicted.
My wife saved me, brought me home.
I didn’t even know I had a wife—can I trust her?
I know I want her.
Desperately.
We are two of a kind—the manipulated, the tossed off, the rejected.
Bitter disappointments, painful secrets, age-old jealousies are my new shipwreck,
and my wife my new opium.
Is satisfaction to be found in revenge or revenge in satisfaction?
One thing I do know, without each other we’re both doomed.

Excerpt
The door slammed shut, and a moment later the coach swayed
off. The air in the small compartment quickly turned hot and humid.
“Did you enjoy your card game?” Justine asked. “Were you
always such an avid player? I suppose your company this evening inspired you.”
Brandon hissed in air and pulled her into his lap with one
swift movement. He tugged her legs over his so that she straddled him. Her
chest tightened under the fierceness of his eyes and his firm grip. That
demanding touch lit a fire inside her, a fire she barely understood. He wrapped
a hand around her neck and pulled her down close taking her mouth in a hungry
kiss, his tongue searching for hers, lashing, inflaming her further. Her
fingers gripped the thick lapels of his great coat.
His hands traveled down to her hips shoving her into
position over him, and a sharp breath escaped her when she felt the pressure of
his hardness right between her legs, just where she ached for him. The jostling
of the coach pushed her against him roughly, and she let out a small cry as the
friction between them multiplied her need. He let out a heavy breath as he
slipped one hand under her dress over her bare flesh. Her body jerked in his
arms, and a low cry escaped her lips as his fingers found her.
“Yes, there you are,” he breathed, his voice thick in the
darkness.
He knew her body very well, and she immediately flooded with
heat under his insistent touch. He buried his face in her bosom, his other hand
sliding down her rear. Two of his fingers slid inside her, and she shuddered in
his arms.
“Brandon…”
“You’re soaked.” He let out an expletive-filled groan.
His fingers claimed her depths as his thumb stroked over
her, teasing, rubbing. Her arms clutched his neck and shoulders, her thighs
tightened, and she came apart sharply in his grip, letting out a low moan.
“You liked that, eh, Lady Graven?” His smug, harsh tone
struck her like an icy blast of winter air. Was that scorn, a taunt? Had he
just proven a point? Her heart shrank. He had marked her like an animal in
heat, showed her who was her master, proved to her to whom she belonged.
She twisted back from his chest, but his strength was too
much for her. His one hand fisted tightly in her hair, and he brought their
faces inches apart.
“Are you punishing me?” she asked against his lips, the back
of her throat stinging. “Are you trying to teach me a lesson?”
His eyes creased. “Punishing you?”
“Yes, yes, punishing me.”
“What the devil are you talking about?”
“I told you you’d hate me for this marriage, you’d resent
me.” Her hands pushed against his shoulders. “Tonight you saw what’s been
denied you, and you’re angry.” His body hardened under her, his fingers gripped
her bare thigh.
“I am annoyed about Charles and Andrew,” Brandon said, his
other hand releasing its tight hold on her hair. “But I don’t hate you.” His
hands slid over her hips and pressed into her rear. Her breath caught in the
darkness. The gentle yet carnal possessiveness of that gesture only set off a
spiral of heat in her chest. “I don’t think I could ever hate you, Justine,” he
whispered.
