Camila barely slept that night.

Lying beside Lucas felt wrong now.

Everything about him felt unfamiliar.

Forced.

Like sharing a bed with someone she used to know instead of someone she still loved.

Lucas spent most of the night talking.

About London.

About future business ideas.

About how much he missed her.

Camila listened quietly, but every word irritated her more.

Because now she noticed things she had ignored before.

The arrogance in his voice.

The way every conver

  • Sinful Attraction    Chapter 7: The Widow's Forbidden Desires

    After Lord Emerson left the garden, Arabella could not breathe properly. The evening air still carried the scent of roses and rain, but all she could think about was him. The way he looked at her. The dangerous roughness in his voice. *As though you are curious what it would feel like if I kissed you.* Her cheeks burned every time the words replayed in her mind. Arabella sat in her room long after sunset with an untouched book resting in her lap. Candlelight flickered softly across the walls while wind rattled faintly against the windows. She could not concentrate. Not on reading. Not sleeping. Not on anything except Edwin Emerson. For years she had convinced herself she was a woman men merely tolerated. Something to settle for. Something hidden away once disappointment settled in. But Edwin looked at her like she was beautiful. Worse… He made her feel beautiful. Desired. Wanted. Arabella closed her eyes tightly. No one had ever awakened feeli

    Edwin had made a mistake. That became painfully clear the moment he returned to Emerson Manor. He should not have teased her in the marketplace. Should not have watched her blush beneath his words. Should certainly not have admitted that roses reminded him of her. Yet despite all reason… He could not regret it. Edwin loosened his cravat as he entered the library, but the familiar quiet of the manor brought him no peace tonight. Because Arabella Rose Hamilton had somehow followed him home inside his thoughts. Again. He poured himself a drink and moved toward the tall windows overlooking the darkening hills of Craneford. Rain threatened in the distance. The countryside was calm. But Edwin’s mind was anything but. He still remembered the sight of her standing outside the bookstore earlier that afternoon. Soft curls moving gently in the wind. Pink cheeks. Wide startled eyes. Beautiful. The word returned relentlessly now. Not the polished beauty Lo

    Arabella couldn't get over her encounter with Lord Emerson. She avoided the pond for three days. Not because she wished to. Because she could not survive the embarrassment of facing Lord Edwin Emerson again. Every time she remembered the moment their eyes met through the darkness, heat rushed painfully into her cheeks. God. She had watched him. Stroke his manhood. Like some scandalous woman from one of Beatrice’s forbidden novels. And worse… He knew it. Arabella groaned softly and buried her face deeper into the pillow. “You are behaving absurdly,” she muttered to herself. Yet avoiding him did nothing to quiet her thoughts. If anything, it only made them worse. She thought about him constantly now. While eating breakfast. While walking through the gardens. While brushing her hair before bed. She remembered the sound of his deep voice. The faint smile that appeared so rarely on his face. The powerful lines of his body beneath the moonlight. E

    Edwin came out for a swim to clear his head, he heard footsteps or rustling behind a tree but he ignored it because he suspected it might be some animals. He pulled off his clothing and jumped into the water. Immediately the water touched his skin he felt relaxed relieving the stress of the whole day. He could have sworn Someone was watching him. Then he heard the crack of a branch. Edwin stood motionless in the water, every instinct suddenly sharpened. The night had been silent moments ago. Now he could feel another presence hidden beyond the willow trees. His dark gaze settled on the shadows near the pond’s edge. “Who is there?” he asked calmly. Silence answered him. But he had seen movement. Small. Quick. Not an animal. A person. Edwin slowly moved toward the shallower part of the pond, water rippling around his waist. He reached for the loose white shirt resting near the rocks before pulling it over his shoulders without taking his eyes off the trees.

    Arabella walked around the Manor all day trying to put everything in place, This is her home now and she is determined to make it comfortable. By evening, Arabella could not find peace. She got tired of pretending she wasn't curious about Lord Emerson her next-door neighbor. No matter what she did, her thoughts returned to Lord Edwin Emerson. The memory of him on horseback haunted her relentlessly. The dark intensity of his eyes. The calm strength in his voice. The way he had looked directly at her—as though he truly saw her. No man had ever looked at Arabella that way before. Certainly not with interest. Her late husband had looked at her with duty. Society looked at her with pity. She had heard people whisper. “ Such a shame a pretty face but she is too fat.” “She needs to slim down if not all that beauty would go to waste because no man wants a fat wife.” At balls, most men had run away from her like a plague. But Edwin Emerson… He had looked at her wit

    The journey to Craneford took nearly two days. By the time Arabella’s carriage rolled through the countryside roads, every part of her body ached from exhaustion. Endless hills stretched beneath gray autumn skies while cold wind rattled against the carriage windows. London already felt far away. Good, she thought bitterly. Let society forget me entirely. She sat quietly wrapped in a dark wool cloak, staring blankly at the passing landscape. Villages became fewer the farther north they traveled. Large estates disappeared, replaced by forests, rivers, and lonely open fields brushed gold by autumn. Everything felt quieter here. Sadder somehow. The carriage finally slowed near sunset. “We’ve arrived, my lady,” the driver called. Arabella straightened slowly before peering through the window. A large stone manor stood at the top of a small hill surrounded by dying rose gardens and tall overgrown hedges. Smoke drifted weakly from only two chimneys. The Craneford es
