Merriam Everett had resigned herself to being an unnoticed
member of the London Ton. But, when a sneer about "whey
faced widows" by the arrogant Julian Clay, the Earl of
Westleigh, scant minutes after he set her heart aflutter
sent her on a path of vengeance to prove him wrong.
Dressing for a Masked Ball, Merriam the Mouse transforms
herself, not only in look and demeanor, into a sexy dark
cat determined to swipe her claws at Julian and leave him
panting.
After telling the butler that Merlin's familiar was there,
she quickly captures Merlin's attentions. Leading him to a
darkened alcove, she tempts him with all her seductive
powers. While he seemed a little taller than she
remembered, passion quickly ignites and their lovemaking is
more glorious that she ever experienced. Shy Merriam no
more, she threw down the gauntlet of his past insult and
left without leaving her name.
Meeting Julian later that week in a park, Merriam is
mortified to learn that she had seduced the wrong man, but
glad her secret would not be revealed and she can return to
her dreary widow's weeds. However, she hadn't realized the
leash she had put on her "Merlin". Newly returned to
England after eight long years, Drake Sotherton, the Duke
of Sussex, is bound and determined not only to find this
charming and sexy cat as well as seek revenge against
Julian. Never sure of Merriam's allegiance, he sets her out
as bait in a game that turns deadly.
As a new writer, Rene Bernard writes like a seasoned star.
