In an act of revenge, Lord Rayne kissed Lady Julia and was sent packing to America. But now he’s back to settle his affairs and give away his sister in marriage, until he meets up with the alluring yet innocent Lady Julia again. He doesn’t regret their first kiss, but he was never good enough for her.
Lady Julia had two years to forget the moody and mercurial Earl of Rayne. But one look, and she knows they’re meant to be together. Be damned with his and her brother’s objections, she’ll just jump on the back of Rayne’s departing carriage and compromise them both thoroughly.
Only, Julia never expected her forbidding Lord to be so good at resisting temptation…

Excerpt
She’d heard his warnings.
She wanted him still.
He was breathtaking. A fiery bundle of contradictions. Large with long-limbed, sinewy, elegant strength. She wanted his weight. She wanted his everything.
She swung her knees over the side of the bed and sat up.
“Kiss me, Rayne.” She felt like she was forever asking.
He placed his fists on either side of her thighs. “Where?”
The answer seemed obvious.
And then it didn’t.
She pointed to a place just beneath her ear.
With a rough, carnal sigh, he bent as if to kiss her cheek, but, instead, his lips grazed the sensitive skin just beyond her jaw’s edge. He lingered, exuding hot, humid air. His breath scattered pebbles of sensitivity over her cheeks, her throat, and her shoulder.
She closed her eyes and rolled her neck to the side, offering him a wider expanse.
For once, he obliged.
His mouth traveled down, feathering wispy kisses as he explored—each point of contact sweeping sensation all the way to her womb.
Fullness that felt like fear pressured her lungs and weighted her breasts. He traced her collarbone to the hollow of her throat and flicked his tongue into the valley before suckling against the skin.
Too much.
Tears boated above her bottom lids.
Silly to fear.
No matter how much sensation he roused, she wasn’t going to burst. Death by administration of neck kisses wasn’t done. Impossible, in fact. Probably. She would have heard of such a thing. Then again, she’d never heard a man’s member called a cock before the other day, had she?
“Do you really like this dress?” His murmur tremored against her skin.
“The style, yes. The dress, not particularly. Why?”
He ripped the tie straight away and peeled back the linen, trapping her arms within her sleeves. No shift protected her from his gaze. No stays. No petticoats. Nothing at all between her and one large, lustful, furious man.
He asked for no further direction.
His mouth—his hands—meandered where they wished. He could span her waist by stretching out his fingers, and yet his touch made her feel vast—all mountains and valleys, every inch bountiful.
He dropped his lips down into the cleft between her breasts. His black hair brushed against her pale skin, soft and inviting.
Surely, she should be doing something while he explored, shouldn’t she?
Sitting idle couldn’t be correct. She couldn’t move her upper arms, but she had hands, didn’t she? She coiled her fingers and slid them into his dark, tempting waves.
He stopped probing. His eyes closed as she brushed through his hair.
Tension emptied from his face, as if the tips of her fingers delivered infinite pleasure, as if the gentle sweep of her thumbs across his cheekbones was his greatest possible reward.
