After an accident renders him unfit for military service, however, he has few other options. When he\u2019s given the post of vicar at a parish church in a sleepy, coastal village, he\u2019s convinced he\u2019ll molder in obscurity. Instead, his arrival brings a sudden resurgence in church attendance\u2026or at least, the attendance of female parishioners. As word of the eligible young vicar spreads, every well-heeled family for miles with a marriageable daughter fills his pews, aiming to catch his eye. Unfortunately for these hopeful members of his flock, Walter\u2019s eye has already been caught\u2014by the one woman who doesn\u2019t come to church on Sundays.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Artemisia Finch left a lucrative career as a celebrated member of London\u2019s demimondaine to care for her ailing father. Returning home hasn\u2019t been easy, though, as her past isn\u2019t even a well-kept secret in the village. When the new vicar arrives on her doorstep, Artemisia is determined to send him on his merry, pious way. But Walter Langston is nothing like any man of the cloth she\u2019s ever known\u2014he\u2019s funny, irreverent, handsome, and tempting as sin. Falling in love with a vicar would be a very bad idea for a former courtesan. Why does this one have to be so hot under the collar?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Buy Links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B008EMMP5E\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B008EMMP5E&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thesea0f-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> ~ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/hot-under-the-collar-jackie-barbosa\/1111811245?ean=2940014629157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a> ~ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/175161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smashwords<\/a> ~ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allromanceebooks.com\/product-hotunderthecollaralordsoflancashirenovella-851560-160.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~*~*~<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>EXCERPT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walter paused at the parlor door, but Artemisia tugged at his hand. \u201cThe bedrooms are upstairs. Unless you fancy the settee for this sort of thing\u2026\u201d She raised her eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>He swallowed against the rush of lust that swelled his veins\u2014and other parts of his anatomy. Apparently, he <em>did <\/em>fancy the settee for this sort of thing. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to presume an invitation to your upper floor until it was extended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou needn\u2019t play the gentleman with me, Mr. Langston. We both know you are invited to both my upper and lower floors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He halted at the foot of the first stair, not allowing her to pull him up after her. She stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes widened in query.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalter. You should call me Walter,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I <em>am <\/em>a gentleman.\u201d Or, at least, he was discovering that he wanted to be one. For her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen you know a gentleman doesn\u2019t keep a lady waiting.\u201d Her hair, which she wore in a simple but elegant coil, shone in a shaft of sunlight. A smile tugged at her lips as she added, \u201cWalter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He liked the way his name sounded when she said it, as though he were something both delicious and vaguely illicit, like an especially rich dessert or the last tumbler of a particularly fine brandy. No wonder she\u2019d commanded the attentions\u2014and wallets\u2014of London\u2019s wealthiest, most aristocratic gentleman. She knew how to make a man feel as though he were the center of the universe. And yet, as though she fancied herself a lump of coal rather than a diamond, she offered herself to him for nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nothing save pleasure. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The thought was humbling. And an implicit challenge. One he was determined to meet\u2014or better still, exceed.<\/p>\n<p>He cupped her jaw in his palm, running his thumb over the high ridge of her cheekbone. Her skin was even silkier, even softer than he remembered. \u201cI wasn\u2019t planning on a quick, meaningless tumble. If keeping you waiting means keeping you wanting, I\u2019m willing to make an exception to my claim of being a gentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat were you planning on, then?\u201d Although her tone was teasing, her respiration was ragged and her pupils threatened to swamp her irises. Though he might be imagining it, he thought her breasts were straining against the bodice of her dark blue riding habit.<\/p>\n<p>Rising up on the balls of his feet to meet her height, he feathered his lips across her parted ones in the faintest of kisses. \u201cA long, slow, and exceedingly meaningful tumble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She shivered. \u201cThat sounds\u2026promising,\u201d she murmured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is most assuredly a promise,\u201d he answered. He only hoped it was one he could keep.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-8900\" data-postid=\"8900\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-8900 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOT UNDER THE COLLAR (Lords of Lancashire, Novella 2) Author: Jackie Barbosa Publisher: Circe Press Rel Date: June 24, 2012 Pages: 110 Digital Price: $2.99 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,14,17,53],"tags":[261,307],"class_list":["post-8900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-authors","category-ebooks","category-excerpt-thursdays","category-self-publishing","tag-excerpts","tag-historicals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
