We are happy to have Grace Elliot as our guest for Sample Sunday with her lovely historical romance Eulogy's Secret
Grace believes intelligent people need romantic
fiction in their lives as an antidote to the modern world and as an avid reader
of historicals she turned to writing as a release from the emotionally draining
side of veterinary work. Her second novel ‘Eulogy’s Secret’ is a story of
greed, prejudice and a stolen identity.
Excerpt
As the housekeeper fussed with the
fire, Eulogy fought the discomfort Huntley stirred in her. His voice resonated
deep in her body, and when he smiled she wanted to stare, to drink in that
strong face, so masculine with its angles and planes, and yet somehow
vulnerable. His presence filled her with unnamable sensations as she fixed her
gaze firmly on the teapot.
They made an awkward party with
Huntley gruff as a bear and Eulogy skittish as a colt. It didn’t help that she
couldn’t make up her mind what to think. One moment he seemed high handed and
arrogant, and the next a kind word to Mrs. Featherstone and her heart melted.
Then there was the way his large hand folded round the teacup, that something
so big could be so gentle did strange things to her insides.
Gilbert jumped onto his lap.
“No, Gibbe, get down this instant.”
Eulogy leapt to her feet, trying to shoo the cat from a comfortable perch on
Huntley’s long thighs and his immaculate buckskin breeches. But Huntley just
smiled, ignoring the cat’s sooty feet, and started stroking the stripy ginger
coat causing Gilbert to erupt into purrs.
“He really should get down. He’ll
ruin your breeches.”
“It’s quite all right. Really.”
As if to emphasize the point,
Gilbert bunted against Huntley’s hand as he found the sweet spot below the
tom-cat’s ear.
“Oh. He obviously likes you.”
Eulogy sank back, nonplussed by this
man who was overbearing, arrogant, domineering and yet strikingly handsome and
utterly charming when he wished. That Huntley tolerated the old tom cat was
unmistakably attractive and set Eulogy wondering if his bluster was just
that…an act. His hooded eyes lifted to meet her gaze, and a moment of
understanding passed between them that shook Eulogy to the core.
