Excerpt FAIR GAME Damon did not avert his eyes as Katy Snow descended the bookroom ladder, her derrière wiggling as seductively as any man could wish. Why should he? His mother might be fooled, but the girl was a homeless waif who should not have risen higher in the household than parlor maid. Yet now she stood before him proudly, hands primly folded in front of a gown that was as fine as any lady’s. She was shockingly lovely. Wisps of pale gold curls framed an oval face marked by a patrician nose above a pink and inviting mouth. In short, a picture to warm a man’s dreams. And his bed. That was it, of course—the reason he must banish her from the library. He was being noble, eschewing temptation. For his sake, as well as hers. But what the devil was he thinking? The chit was a servant, and so he would treat her. Katy, the girl the cat dragged in, that’s what she was. Fair game for the caged lion. She had insisted on entering the cage, had she not? Ever so slowly, Colonel Damon Farr’s lips stretched into a thin smile. |
