Holy Mother. He was pulling her skirt up!

“You can’t do this!” she gasped.

“I assure you, your maidenly honor is quite safe. I’m only searching for weapons. I don’t trust anyone, especially women as wily as you, my dear. Perhaps a knife strapped to your leg?”

Nate removed his hand from beneath the folds of her skirts, then turned her loose.

Ann spun around, ready to give him a piece of her mind. But seeing his raised hand, she backed away. “I don’t care who finds me in your room. If you strike me, I swear I’ll scream.” He brushed back the hair that had fallen into his eyes, and Ann realized her mistake. There had been no blow intended.

Nate leaned against the door. “What’s wrong, duchess? Guilty conscience?”
