Synopsis: Rayna de La Roche once lived a privileged life of a Spanish royal until her brother dragged her to America. In order to return to Spain, she must find a hidden treasure somewhere in New Orleans. She pairs up with a rugged American mercenary, whose mere touch unleashes her deepest desire.
Captain Zachary Nash has been accused of a murder he did not commit. On the run, he’s hired to protect Rayna. As much as he wants her, Zach cannot hope to have her, for she sees him as a common criminal. But keeping his hands off of her while they hunt down the treasure may be his toughest task yet.
As the passion sizzles between the royal and the captain, they’ll have to decide if the treasure is more important than love…
EXCERPT
He turned toward his rescuer. “Ah, the princess pretends to sleep.”
“Sí,
seems I have to sleep light these days.” She released the hammer of her
pistol and hung it on her brace. “I have a magical knight. Sometimes
you see him, sometimes you don’t.”
“But you did not sleep. Why?”
“Because I could not with a man in my room.” She sounded irritated, like she really had sacrificed sleep.
“For
some reason, I don’t believe that was the first time you’ve had a man
in your room.” He didn’t know what made him say that, except seeing her
in those formfitting clothes reminded him of every time he had stood too
near to her, touched her, and had to deny his feelings of wanting her.
The days and nights of watching her from afar, in Cadiz, on Donato’s
ship, and now here, she was the most desirable woman he’d ever seen.
“I amend, señor.” This time the princess laughed. “The first time I had a strange man in my room who was not sharing my bed.”
“You’ve
had men share your bed.” He stated rather than asked because he was
curious, having suspected the woman was…experienced. But hearing her say
it niggled beneath his skin with just a tiny nip of jealously. To sleep
in her bed, how would a man earn that right?
A smile arrested her entire beautiful face. “Again, a position you’ll never enjoy.”
He
stopped walking beside her. He shouldn’t care, and knowing the Roches
like he did, why would he be in the least bit curious? “Because I’m an
American and you’re royalty?”
She honored his halt with a spin of her own, facing him.
“Capitán,”
she began in that thick Spanish accent. “I could have any man I desire.
I have been bedded by kings, princes, dukes, and marquises. Why would I
choose a barbaric common American?”
Maybe
it was her upturned face catching the moonlight that enticed him, or
the slight curve to her lips that interested him, but it was the deep
lust he saw in her eyes that made him reckless.
“Because
you want to.” He snagged her wrist, twisted it behind her back and
brought her flush against his chest. He could feel her breathing. Her
breasts pushed against his body with every inhalation in an age-old
rhythm. Her lips parted slightly. He caught the flicker of her tongue as
she moistened her lips—anticipating.
