First Kiss Friday with Katherine Lyons

Welcome to another First Kiss Friday and my blog! Today I have a new author to me. Please welcome Katherine Lyons who has an excerpt from her story Rules for a Fake Fiancé. I just love this cover and its title. So many possibilities! We hope you enjoy this first kiss scene. Happy reading, my lovelies!

Excerpt:

WHAT WAS HE doing? The question spun through Trevor’s brain. He’d seen how pretty she looked in the moonlight, how her hair curled so perfectly by her ear, and how her lips were moist and inviting. So he’d taken the invitation without thought to the consequences. And now he was immersed in her glorious kiss. 

It started in the usual way. The lady gasped in surprise, and that naturally allowed him entrance. He deepened the kiss automatically, thrusting inside and pulling her closer. Her head had to tip back, which gave him the superior position as he dominated her head and body. He tasted, he toyed, and he took from her before she had the wherewithal to refuse. It was the way a future duke kissed, and he was well practiced. 

Except, apparently, she was practiced as well. She closed her mouth—a little, just enough to threaten his tongue. His blood surged at the threat, and his fingers tightened, holding her to his will. She fought him for a moment, her hands hard where they clutched his shoulders. Then she surrendered completely. 

He thrust into her mouth, she arched into his body, dropping her head back. In that small movement, she gave him dominion, and he set out to plunder her with a different mindset. Where before he had taken, now he set to a skillful dance of advance and retreat. In and out, he played, easily besting her until he found himself burning with a fire wholly unexpected. His heart pounded in his ears, his hands shifted to support her so he could take her to the floor, and most damning of all, his organ was hot and hard where he rubbed himself against her skirts. 

The speed of this inferno stunned him, and in shock, he broke from her before he lost himself to her fire. 

He stepped back harshly, his breath coming in great gasps. She was clutching him, so she followed, though she didn’t pursue the kiss. She, too, was breathing heavily, and that was the only sound in the room. Two people gasping in the most erotic of rasps he had ever heard.

A delightful Regency romance perfect for fans of Julia Quinn and Tessa Dare!

Melinda Smithson needs a husband – preferably one who appreciates her scientific mind. Trevor Anaedsley, future Duke of Timby, needs a temporary fiancé to secure his inheritance. Their fake engagement seems like the perfect solution…until real feelings start to complicate their clever scheme.

Between meddling families, dramatic duels, and a surprisingly combative turkey, Melinda and Trevor discover that matters of the heart can’t be approached with scientific precision.

As London’s high society watches their every move, can these two brilliant minds find the formula for true love?

Author Bio: 

  Flirty, dirty and fun! That’s how Katherine Lyons likes her love stories. One would think that would lead her to contemporary romance, but she’s always loved the witty dialogue and hot, sexy humor of regency romance. She’s a big fan of The Bridgertons, Big Bang Theory (even though it’s over), and her favorite movie is The Avengers because she loves the MCU.
