The Duke's Sword - Admirand, C. H.

. .

Résumé :
Gwendolyn guards her bruised and battered heart like a warrior...Patrick O'Malley has no time for distractions... The Duke of Wyndmere's quest to find a nanny for his newborn twins brings yet another applicant to his door. Widowed Gwendolyn Alexander's reputation precedes her as one of the most sought-after nannies among the ton. Patrick O'Malley, head of the duke's personal guard, hopes this latest applicant will meet with the approval of the most difficult members of the duke's family...his twin babes. Nothing prepares him for the physical reaction that slams into him as the petite woman, dressed in drab peat-brown from head to toe, steps down from the duke's carriage. Her Irish whiskey-colored eyes hold him captive, while her voluptuous curves have his breath snagging in his lungs as unbidden images slam into him of tangled sheets...flickering firelight, and silky brown tresses spread across the white of his pillow. Gwendolyn Alexander anticipates her reputation preceding her as she alights from the duke's carriage. She steps down from the carriage to thank the footman for his assistance, and her gaze collides with an impossibly handsome, broad-shouldered man, garbed in black from head to toe. Desire flickers in eyes the color of polished emeralds, reminding her of Beltane fires, drawing her inexorably toward him. When Gwendolyn and Patrick find themselves at cross purposes protecting the little ones from threats of kidnapping, they must learn to compromise and work together before the kidnapper strikes again! Will they walk away or face the fire of desire that threatens to consume them?

If we have not met yet, I'm delighted to meet you! Here's a little bit about me...I have been writing romance novels for almost half my life, well at least for the last 30 years. I'm a diehard romantic and have to confess the broad shoulders and wicked glint in the brilliant green eyes of a stranger had my breath snagging in my breast, my heart beating madly, and my future flashing before my eyes. At the age of seventeen, I'd met the man I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with.I write Historical & Contemporary Romance featuring characters that I know so well: hardheaded heroes and feisty heroines! They rarely listen to me and in fact, I think they enjoy messing with my plans for them. Over the years I have learned to listen to them! I have always used family names in my books and love adding bits and pieces of my ancestors and ancestry in them, too!...
