TIGHT LACED
by Roxy
Soulé
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roxy
Soulé’s debut Dragon Duchess series explores the spicier side of late Victorian
England, and centers around a family of headstrong, sexpositive women who defy
period stereotypes.
Oh, yes, there are
Alpha Dukes aplenty, and a bevy of villains who continually torment and thwart,
but at the end of the day, these heroines create their own Happily Ever After,
sometimes with their lovers and sometimes despite them.
These rather short,
hot books may be a bit bold for the tame reader, but if you like your stories
with heat and heart – with a bit of sass, humor and spark – perhaps you will
enjoy these.
TIGHT LACED (Book One
of the Dragon Duchess series) releases August 11th!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now an excerpt for your pleasure!
Lacy sat bolt upright, bringing the covers to her throat.
“Who is there?”
“Shhhhh. Lady Lacilia, I’ve come to—”
Lacy cupped her hands around an invisible dagger. A pretense
she’d practiced over the years for just this sort of occasion. “I will slit
your throat if you step any closer!”
She heard him laugh. A voice pealed from the dark, “Slit my
throat? How would you explain that, pray tell?”
He feigned a high-pitched woman’s voice, “’If it please the
court, my groom was attempting to offer me sweets in the night, and I never eat
sweets in the night.’”
“Darlington! What are you thinking scaring me half to
death?”
“I surmised you might be hungry and somewhat cold.”
“I had finally fallen asleep, you scoundrel!”
“I brought a tea cake…”
“A tea cake?”
“I raided the pantry.”
They were two voices in the night. No light, nothing
illuminated, and Lacy, in spite of herself, became curious. “What sort of tea
cake?”
“Lady fingers, My Lady. For your fingers.”
He came closer. She smelled butter. Confection.
“I am not decent,” she remembered.
“I can’t see a thing,” he retorted.
Darlington was now bedside. Now sitting on the bed, his leg
next to hers. It was most unseemly, but the cake! Her stomach growled.
“The beast has awoke!” he teased.
“That soup was awful. Is the cake any better?”
“Why you spoiled lamb, you.”
“Well, is it?”
“See for yourself, Lacy.”
