Good morning, everyone! I'm excited to share a bit of my new Princes series with you all! The first in the series is The Princes Bound, now available at lsbooks.com. When a sexy prince is abducted by a dedicated female soldier, sparks are bound to fly!
Stay tuned for more excerpts and info on the upcoming release of The Princes Determined, book 2.
Prince Talin’s trusted captain, Nadia, is ordered to abduct his brother, Prince Mathis of Isidor, and bring him to the wedding of Talin and the daughter of their family’s sworn enemy. Loyalties are tested and enemies gather as Mathis and Nadia’s inescapable attraction threatens to bind the pair together.
Excerpt from The Princes Bound by Robin Danner:
“Let go of me,” she demanded, but it
lacked a commanding tone.
He stroked the back of her hand.
“Nadia, what is it you fear? I promise I will not hurt you.”
She lifted her chin. “Bah! As if you
could.”
He didn’t know what came over him,
but some sense of devilment made him pull her toward him as he got to his feet.
She was tall for a woman but still
several inches shorter than him. She gasped as he brought her full length
against his body.
She struggled to escape. “Let go of
me!”
He wrapped his arms around her and
forced her gaze to meet his. “Nadia, I do not mean you any harm.”
“Then prove it, and let me go.”
He inhaled deeply, and her womanly
scent invaded his nostrils.
She was slim, but her body was curved
in the right places. It felt like heaven to hold her.
She was a bundle of contradictions
and drove him to distraction. For the past three days, anger had fueled him and
kept him from realizing he was attracted to her.
What was it about her that so
entranced him?
“Who was the youth you spoke to
earlier?”
Nadia stopped her struggle and
narrowed her eyes. “Do you mean Hugh? He is my nephew.”
Relief flooded him. “Lance’s son.
Talin has spoken of him.”
“How did you know he was here?” She
gave him a fierce glare. “Were you spying on me?”
The irony of the statement caused him
to chuckle. “My dear lady, do not dare to take offense after you watched me
swim in the nude.”
She rolled her eyes. “As if it were
anything I haven’t seen before.”
Mathis wasn’t so vain as to think he
held more physical attraction than most men, but her statement entertained him.
She shrugged in a blasé manner. “Your
brother, for instance. You are built much the same.”
“You’ve seen my brother in the nude
then?”
He was amused by her ploy. He knew
she lied because she wouldn’t look at him. She always stared him straight in
the eye, but this time she’d dropped her gaze to some point over his shoulder. If
she’d tried it several hours earlier, he may have believed her. But as it
stood, he knew there was nothing more than friendship between Nadia and his
brother.
“Of course. Lots of times.”
“Nadia, my love, you are a terrible
liar.” The endearment fell from his lips before he could think better of it.
But once it had, it felt right somehow. Here, now, in this garden, he was meant
to be with her.
Did she feel it too? She had to.
She didn’t deny she’d been lying.
“What do you want from me? Other than a truce?”
“Just
this.” Find out more about Robin and her books at http://robindanner.webs.com
