Blackstone's Bride

Blackstone's Bride
Bronwyn Williams

Greed Held Her PrisonerDeep in the Carolina hills, widow Eleanor Miller saw no escape from her grasping in-laws. Until Providence sent her Jed Blackstone. The half-breed drifter who lived on luck seemed an unlikely savior yet he alone could set Eleanor's passions free…!He'd Escaped With His LifeHaving survived a hellish assault, Jed Blackstone found heaven in the arms of an unusual angel. What else could Eleanor be? For her glorious grit and gumption gave him the will to survive–and thrive! And he'd do anything to give her the paradise she deserved…!

“Ladies don’t swear,” he said piously.

Eleanor jerked out another stick and peeled off a length of sheeting. “Gentlemen don’t refer to their—their posteriors in a lady’s presence.”

“Ah, come on now, El, aren’t we beyond all that?”

Her lips twitched as she tried to repress a smile. “Your bruises have turned yellow,” she told him. When he tried to look down, she said, “Hold still. I’m not through yet.”

She was fast and efficient, reaching around him to grab an end, freeing it and then reaching around him again. When her fingers brushed across his navel, he sucked in his breath.

“Sorry. Did I pinch?”

He closed his eyes. “Ticklish,” he said. He didn’t specify which body part was itching now.
