BLURB:
Not
a day has gone by that Ewan McTavish, the Viscount Sethwick, hasn't dreamed of
the beauty he danced with two years ago. He's determined to win her heart and make her his own. Heiress,
Yvette Stapleton, is certain of one thing; marriage is risky and, therefore, to
be avoided. At first, she doesn't recognize the dangerously handsome man who
rescues her from assailants on London's docks, but Lord Sethwick's passionate
kisses soon have her reconsidering her cynical views on matrimony. On a mission to
stop a War Office traitor, Ewan draws Yvette into deadly international
intrigue. To protect her, he exploits Scottish law, declaring her his lawful
wife—without benefit of a ceremony. Yvette is furious upon discovering the
irregular marriage is legally binding, though she never said, "I do."
Will Ewan's manipulation cost him her newfound love?
EXCERPT:
She stepped back as he pushed
his way into the room, leaving the door ajar. His hair was damp, no doubt from
bathing, and the stubble darkening his face earlier was gone. Feet bare,
wearing only buckskin breeches and a shirt unbuttoned to the waist, he
resembled a pirate—a dangerous, rakish, sinfully
handsome pirate.
She sucked in her breath. He
oughtn’t to be here, but he’d said he wanted to talk to her, and he had
promised to behave.
Yvette’s eyes traveled the
path of silky hair from his chest until it disappeared into his waistband. Her
stomach flip-flopped. Sweet Lord above. She pressed her hands to her frolicking
middle. Why doesn’t he say something?
A distraction, that’s what
she needed. She escaped to the lumpy bed where she had flung her clothing
before bathing. She folded and packed the garments into her valise and set it
on the floor beside her trunk. She bent to retrieve her bath towel, and peeked
side-ways at him from the corner of her eye. He hasn’t moved. What’s he about?
Grabbing the towel, she
glanced down and froze. The candles to her left bathed her in a stream of
light. She could clearly see the outline of her legs. Her nightwear was almost
translucent in the candlelight and gave him a shadowy view of— dear God—nearly everything.
No wonder he hadn’t moved, the
bounder.
Standing upright, she held
the towel before her, and faced him. “Enjoying the view, your lordship?” she
snapped.
Ewan still leaned against
the doorframe, watching her. “Immeasurably.”

AUTHOR INFORMATION:
A
life-long Oregonian, Collette Cameron was born and raised in a small town along
the northern Oregon coast. Today she makes her home in a rural community, 30
minutes west of Portland. Her Victorian farmhouse sits on a one-acre certified
wildlife habit, interspersed with a plethora of gardens: English, rose,
butterfly, rock, water, and of course, vegetable.
A
voracious reader of romance since her teens, she even named her daughter after
a heroine in her favorite romance novel. An enthusiast of times gone by, and
anything related to romance, she writes Historical Romance, with a dash of
inspiration, a pinch of humor, and a liberal portion of suspense.
Having
dabbled in interior decorating in her youth, Collette returned to school,
graduating summa cum laude from Oregon State University, and going on to obtain
her Master's Degree in Teaching. She is member of Romance Writers of America,
Rose City Romance Writers, The Beau Monde, and Love Faith and Hope, Inc.
Some
of Collette's favorite things include unique blends of coffees and teas,
trivia, Cadbury Milk Chocolate, inspirational quotes, and scented candles. Her
Christian faith, husband, three adult children, and five miniature dachshunds
round out her life quite nicely! When she's not teaching or writing, she enjoys
amateur photography, bird watching, gardening, interior decorating,
rock-hunting, boating or fishing on the Columbia River, and reading.

Thanks so much for hosting me today, Lyndsay!
LOVE the excerpt ... I like the hero already. mnark111 AT gmail DOT com
I'm enjoying the tour! (Have you ever tried the British and Canadian Cadbury bars? Some people prefer the chocolate texture to ours...)

A victorian house on a plot of wildlife, it sounds like you live in the perfect inspiration for a historical romance like this

I've tried British and US Cadbury chocolate. British is much better!
Shannon, my shabby chic writing room does inspire me when I write. I used to write in my husband's den. He's a hunter and there are deer heads mounted on the walls. Not very inspiring.
Nice title

This is a new genre, new author and a new book for me. I'm so excited. Thank you for a chance to win. I'm not even half way and I think I need to find a fan to cool me off.
