READ AN EXCERPT OF THE SCOT SAYS I DO
Duncan glanced at Peter who had dropped back
down on the divan and covered his face with one arm. He was no use to either of
them at this point. Besides, this business was between himself…and Catherine.
He gently pressed her into the king’s chair, took one next to hers and scooted
it around until he faced her. “You and Peter have no home now.”
“Not even the Wilds?”
“Not even the stables.” He tried to be as
sympathetic as he could. This was difficult for her. Shattering. And it would
only get worse. “For you, things are not so bad. You’re a lovely girl. You can
marry well.” He ignored her snort. “But for Peter…” He let it hang there like a
razor sharp icicle clinging to a roofline as a melt approached.
“But Peter?”
“He has other debts.”
“Oh no.”
“Small ones, but substantial enough for his
creditors to ask for retribution.”
They both knew what that meant. Debtors’
prison. A truly nasty end for a feckless lad. But Duncan had the inclination to
allow Peter to languish there—at least for a while—to teach the boy a lesson.
“Newgate would kill him,” Catherine whispered.
“It’s not all that bad.”
Her gaze snapped to him. “And how do you
know?”
He lifted a brow. He had no intention of
telling her that he’d visited and reprieved more than one foolish friend.
“Poor Peter.”
“He did bring this on himself. He gambles like
a fiend.” A fiend who thinks he can never lose.
“Can’t you help him?”
Duncan swallowed an outraged laugh. “I believe
I already have.”
“I mean, help him more?”
“Buy out all his debts?
Return his wealth and property to him? Pat him on his head and charge him to go
forth and risk it all again? What kind of fool do you think I am?”
“A heartless one.” She stood and whirled away,
which gave him cause to follow.
But honestly, he was not the heartless one
here.
When she spun back, he was right behind her
and they were far too close. The tips of her breasts brushed against his chest
and he nearly swallowed his tongue. She flinched as well, as though the touch
had been like a bolt of lightning. She gazed up into his eyes, hers wide and
damp. Her lips parted and her pink tongue dabbed out to wet them and his knees
nearly failed him.
Damn she was so beautiful. So glorious. He
wanted to kiss her now, ravish her. Claim her. He wanted—
“I cannot bear the thought of marrying one of
my suitors,” she said, and he was brought back to the moment, his intent, with
a powerful lurch.
“There may be a solution.”
She tipped up her delicate chin bravely. “And
what might that be?”
So simple. So perfect.
“Marry me.”
Her jaw dropped and he fixated on the sight of
her open mouth. If that was not a demand for a kiss, he did not know what was.
He pulled her into his arms, reveling in the
warmth, the curves of her slight form, and lowered his head.
She tasted like heaven. Sweet bliss. Just like
he remembered from that day when he’d pulled her from the loch and forced her
to breathe again. Her scent infused him, enamored him, enraged a long-banked
fire within him.
She would be his.
He would have her.
Finally.
Catherine Ross would be his bride, just as
he’d dreamed of for so many years. Just as he’d fought and scrabbled and worked
for. His life ambition had come to him and the moment was so sublime…
Until she pulled away and stared at him with
an odd mixture of shock and fear limning her eyes.
And she hauled back her delicate fist.
And punched him in the jaw.
By the time he’d recovered from the shock of
what he could only interpret as her refusal of his suit, she’d whirled away and
flounced off to her chambers—God only knew where—in the bowels of the enormous
mansion.
But this was only the first salvo in his
campaign to win hr.
And win her, he would.
