Sneak Peek of The Tattooed Duke!

Speaking of Housemaid Heroines and the books they star in…here’s a snippet from The Tattooed Duke!

~Chapter 5: In which scrubbing floors is romantic~

 The following day found Eliza scrubbing the foyer floors and eating her words that “scrubbing floors was not anyone’s idea of romance.”

His Grace had strolled by and Eliza spent the next hour reliving all seven seconds that it took him to stroll through the foyer from the drawing room to his library, ogling her shamelessly all the while.

When the duke appeared, she had been on her hands and knees, in a position of utter supplication, and vexed with the strands of hair falling in her face. Her cheeks were flushed, due to steam arising from the bucket of hot soapy water.

 He did not ignore her, as he ought to do. She’d heard that servants in some households were required to turn and face the wall when their masters appeared.

Instead, the Duke indulged in a look that would have been horribly rude for the liberty of it. If she’d had a daughter, and a man looked at her thus, Eliza would have called him out for his hot, fierce gaze that freely swept slowly over her breasts, the dip in her back and the rise of her bottom. It was so brazen and so bold that she could feel it.

An hour later, she was still feeling it—the heat of it, the shock of it, the mock outrage and secret pleasure.
