Portia
Summerhill feels like a loser.
Thirty-something,
jobless, and living at home… How could she not? Next to her accomplished
sisters, Portia's achievements—or lack thereof—are that much more noticeable.
The
one thing Portia can claim is expert knowledge on antiques and her ancestry,
and in a moment of serendipity, the perfect job lands in her lap: curator at
the Museum of British Peerage. There's one caveat: the museum won't hire her
unless she brings the family jewels with her. Or, more specifically, the
infamous Summerhill tiara.
Except
a cowboy hotelier stands between her and her tiara. Jackson Waite needs help
getting his newest posh hotel launched and, luckily for Portia, he's willing to
make a trade. If she helps him meet the deadline for his new resort, he'll give
her the tiara. Only, the more time she spends with Jackson, the more Portia
wonders if she wants the tiara or the man keeping it from her.
~ Excerpt ~
"The interior of the elevator
was reflective and she checked
herself in the reflective surface.
Her right stocking
was sagging the tiniest bit. She still had a dozen
floors, so she lifted her skirt high to secure
it to her garter better.
Only the elevator stopped
and the doors opened without
warning. She glanced up, her skirt high up around the tops of her thighs.
A man walked
in without hesitation. He was the stereotype of an American,
from the tip of his cowboy hat down to the heels of his cowboy boots. As if that didn't make his nationality clear,
the way he stared at her thighs
was the deciding factor. A proper
British man would have averted
his eyes. This man eyed her like he wanted
to take a bite out of her.
"I didn't
know women still
wore those things," he drawled as he leaned
against the opposite
wall.
"They're called garters, and of course
women still wear them." She fixed her stocking and pulled her skirt down as quickly
as possible, trying
not to be distracted by the
way he looked in his jeans. She'd
never seen a man fill them out so... prodigiously. And his boots intrigued
her. They were well loved,
obviously a favorite
pair."
"Hello." Her heart hammered. Lowering the books,
she tried not to stare at him but it was hard not to. He looked
so virile next to the frivolously carved
furniture. He wore a leather
jacket, a sweater
with a T-shirt underneath, well-worn
jeans, and his boots,
of course. On his head was a cowboy hat. She looked behind him to see if he was being followed by a steed.
