Coming soon fromNew American Library

Two days after Patrick Hepburn, Lord Stewart, returned to Crichton, as he entered the stable to get his horse, a cat crossed his path, and suddenly the dark interior became illuminated by a dazzling light. The vision that appeared before him was a female in full, naked glory. She was standing before a mirror, which presented him with an unimpeded view of both her back and her front at the same time. She was small with a tiny waist and delicate limbs, yet the swell of lush breasts told him she was a woman full grown.

He gazed at her alabaster skin with the admiration of a man who truly appreciated female flesh. When he finally raised his eyes, he saw that she was not completely naked, after all. She wore a frilly white neck ruff that emphasized the exquisite beauty of her face and contrasted with the profusion of black, shining curls that were piled high on her head.

Patrick stared in fascination, missing no finest detail. Her heavy lashes formed dark shadows on her cheekbones. When she raised them to examine herself in the mirror, he saw that her eyes were the color of amber with glittering gold inclusions in their depths. For one brief moment her eyes looked directly into his and left a physical impact. Not only did his heart miss a beat but his unruly cock began to throb as it hardened and lengthened.

His hot gaze slowly lowered, licking over her delicious curves like a candle flame, and came to rest on her round bottom. He suddenly blinked in disbelief. At the top of her left bum cheek sat the image of a saucy black cat.

“A tattoo, begod!”
