Wicked in His Arms (Wedded by Scandal, #2)

by Stacy Reid

“I would not question your honor if I ever saw such a thing, but be assured whichever man touches you, whether it was by your invitation or not, I would break him,” he said, dangerously soft. “He would lose wealth, his friends, certainly the use of a limb or two, for even thinking to touch you, much less doing so.”

“I have never hungered for another woman the way I do you,” he said. “I do not like it.”

For my wife, my friend, my lover, and my most beloved countess. I love thee with every breath in my body and with every emotion in my soul. I admire you, respect you, and I will endeavor to make you the happiest woman in all of England once you have forgiven me for being an unmitigated arse.
