Avon Impulse
Sweet Sara Collins is
one of the founding members of the governess club. But she has a secret… She
doesn’t love teaching. She’d much prefer to be a vicar’s wife and help the
local community. But this quiet mouse doesn’t want to upset her friends, and
she resolves to help in whatever ways she can.
Nathan Grant is the
embodiment of everything that frightens Sara. Which is why she can’t understand
why the handsome but reclusive and gruff man is so fascinating to her. When
Sara decides it’s time to take a chance and experience all that life has to
offer, Nathan is the first person she thinks of.
Will
Sara’s walk on the wild side ruin her chances at a simple, happy life? Or has
she just opened the door to a once-in-a-lifetime chance of passion?

Even if such declarations were not part
of their arrangement. Nathan leaned down and kissed her again, taking her mouth
with deliberate gentleness. Sara responded, opening her mouth at the first
touch of his tongue, welcoming him in. The kiss deepened and she lifted her
hands to cup his face again, enjoying the scrape of stubble against her palms.
His tongue delved into her mouth, exploring and playing. She felt her anxiety
melt away. Nathan lowered his body against hers, the first feeling of entire
skin against skin making his head spin. He left her mouth and moved down her
neck, pausing to pay attention to her rapid pulse. His hand slid down her side,
slipping underneath her body to caress and fondle her bottom.
Louisa Brockhurst is
on the run - from her friends, from her family, even from her dream of
independence through The Governess Club. But sometimes it’s easier for her to
hide from those she loves in order to escape the secrets of her past.
Handsome but menacing
John Taylor is a former prize-fighter turned inn-keeper who is trying to make
his way in society. When Louisa shows up at his doorstep he’s quick to accept
her offer to help - at a price. He knows that she’s hiding something and he
can’t help his protective instincts around the beautiful woman.
Their
attraction grows, but will headstrong, fiery Louisa ever trust the surprisingly
kind John enough to tell him the dangerous secrets from her past that keep her
running? Or will the power of her feelings scare her into running yet again?

He
did not know why he did it. It was more automatic than anything. Under his
thumb, her skin was smooth and soft, its creaminess contrasting with his own
tanned skin. His eyes narrowed in on where his thumb came in contact with her
forehead, focusing in on the spot. He rubbed her forehead a few times before
trailing his thumb down to her cheek, learning the texture of that skin as well
until he was caressing her chin with his thick digit. Mrs. Brock’s eyes had
widened when he touched her forehead, stared at him unblinkingly as his thumb
traversed her cheek. Now her mouth gaped open slightly and her shoulders rose
and fell with her breathing. Her tongue darted out, licking her lips and his
eyes were riveted by the sight of it. When not pressed into a thin line, her
mouth was pale pink, nicely shaped with her lower lip more lush than the top
and the small bow along the top lip just large enough to catch a man’s
attention. But John’s attention was currently on that lush lower lip. It begged
him to kiss it, draw it into his mouth to nibble and suck. Heat flooded his
body at the thought of closing the small distance between them and doing just
that. Based on the look on her face and her breathing, Mrs. Brock would welcome
his kiss at the very least. He shifted, preparing to do just that.
