An Excerpt
Goodness , you would think she had never been kissed under the mistletoe before ! Of course , she had never kissed an earl before . Probably Lord Inglewhite ’ s high position was all that made her nervous .
Certainly , there could be nothing about Lord Inglewhite ’ s behavior to make a young woman feel uncomfortable around him . He seemed a kind and considerate man , and he had been quite respectful when he lifted her over the puddle this afternoon . But thinking of that moment was a mistake . The memory of his scent — wool and earthy cologne mingled together — was strong enough to distract her even from the rich aroma of the punch in her hand . Recalling his hands on her waist made Ivy ’ s heart race even faster as he lowered his head and pressed his lips lightly against her cheek . Oh , was that all ?
